The Isle of Man's booster vaccination programme has been extended to people aged 50 and over.
Those eligible can now book appointments online to relieve pressure on the island's 111 service.
The Manx government is urging island residents to take up the booster offer as it brings the local vaccination programme into line with recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
Appointments can be made here.
