Delay To Flu Jabs For Over 65s

Thursday, 8 October 2020 07:21

Over 65s will have to wait longer for their flu jabs after the first batch had to be destroyed.

The first batch to arrive in Guernsey had to be destroyed because they were not stored at the right temperature.

Shipping delays caused by bad weather meant they weren't kept cold enough.

Replacements have been ordered and are due to arrive next week.

GP surgeries and pharmacies have been advised to postpone clinics.

Vaccines for schoolchildren and 18-65 year olds have arrived and are being rolled out.
