Islanders eligible for the spring booster vaccine are being reminded they have until Saturday to get jabbed.

The spring booster programme is set to close to ensure a gap is created between it and the autumn booster programme.

Those eligible include islanders aged 75 and older and those older than 12 who are immunosuppressed.

Anyone waiting for a booster should make sure 12 weeks has passed since their last dose.

The Government of Jersey said the vaccine centre at Fort Regent would close at 12:30 BST on Saturday due to an event but islanders would still be able to attend the Rock-Up Clinic at St John's Parish Hall from 09:00 to 15:00.
