Young Islanders are encouraged to get their Covid-19 vaccine as the Rock Up clinics end tomorrow

Islanders who have recently recovered from a confirmed COVID-19 infection will now be classed as a Recently Recovered Previous Positive for 90 days.

The Government’s temporary solution for France’s ‘Pass Sanitaire’ has been given an extension as work to establish a permanent solution is progressed.

As of Wednesday 8 September, over 150,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have now been administered to Islanders.

​Islanders aged 16 and over who have yet to receive their COVID-19 vaccination will be able to receive their vaccinations at various locations around the Island from Monday as the Government's 'Rock Up' campaign returns.

Nearly half of the Island’s 16- and 17-year-olds heading back to school and college this week have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination.

All Islanders aged 12 and above, who have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, will now be offered lateral flow test (LFT) kits to take home.

More than 2,000 secondary students have registered for the free Lateral Flow Tests ahead of starting school next week.

Islanders with severely weakened immune systems should have a third vaccine dose as part of their primary COVID-19 vaccination schedule.

The majority of schools are due to return on Tuesday, 7 September and secondary students are being offered Lateral Flow Tests before starting school.
