Anyone who has received an invitation letter, can now register for their COVID-19 vaccination online via covid19.gov.im/vaccine
The new system means people can submit their details and find out what to expect at their appointment using their PC, tablet, phone or laptop, with links to further information about the vaccines and the Island’s rollout programme just a click or two away.
The online form provides a convenient and swift way for those who receive invitation letters to register for a jab, alleviating pressure on the 111 team, who until now have handled all registrations. Online registration will work alongside the 111 line, which will remain available for those who need additional help to register. After registration, contact will be made by 111 to confirm both vaccination appointments via email, letter or phone. Appointments are made subject to deliveries on Island and individuals are asked to wait for the contact from 111 after registration.
Important information about having the vaccination is set out in the online registration process, and those wishing to register are invited first to read about the authorised vaccines in use in the Island and their possible side effects, and to understand the consent process.
The on-line process should only be used for those who have received an invitation letter. To register online visit covid19.gov.im/vaccine and click on Vaccination Registration.
