Almost all 30- and 40-somethings have had either one or both jabs; SSM will focus on senior citizens who are still shirking their inoculations.
Over-60s can get inoculated with same vaccine if they face increased risk; all results from Sunday’s NAT drive reported negative.
Replacement batch will be delivered shortly, although only about 10 per cent of residents have volunteered for a jab so far.
SSM officials will conduct tests before putting the new doses to use; more than 24,000 have completed both vaccinations so far.
Thousands have to wait for their jabs as faulty packaging sets alarm bells ringing; options include using alternative batches or shipping in new doses direct from Germany.
