The Island's Health Minister has praised the efforts of those behind the new Covid-19 vaccine centre at Ronaldsway ahead of its opening tomorrow.

The vaccination centre at the Isle of Man Airport is due to come online on Thursday, with work also underway to create another at Chester Street in Douglas and a centre in the North of the Island which are both expected to open during next month.

The airport facility houses ten clinical treatment areas as well as spacious waiting and exit areas.

David Ashford MHK says staff have overcome big challenges to get things up and running:
