The government says that vaccinations are the best way to protect against the known risks of COVID-19 in pregnancy.

Public Health Isle of Man says getting the vaccines during pregnancy helps protect the newborn until such time as they can receive their shots.

You can get your covid and flu jabs at walk in sessions taking place later this month.

The sessions are being run at St Paul's Church Hall in Market Square in Ramsey on Wednesday, January 29 and on Thursday, January 30 at St Patrick's Court in in Peel.
