Health staff thanked for 'smashing booster records'

"Thanks for a great job" says the Chief

The island's Chief Minister has thanked health care staff after thousands of islanders were given a pre-Christmas Covid vaccine booster.

The continuing drive, which involves a series of walk-in clinics at the Chester Street hub, has so far seen about seven thousand people given a third dose of vaccine.

Health care staff have been redeployed to help in the island's accelerated booster vaccine programme.

In a recent tweet, Alfred Cannan said he's "proud to see the community coming together to keep healthy, protect others and keep our economy and society moving".

It's been announced the walk-in clinics will continue into next week.
