POP-up Covid-19 vaccination clinics will continue throughout August and into September, Health Minister Robin Swann has stressed.
Yesterday (Thursday), a walk-in clinic was held at the Derg Valley Healthy Living Centre in Castlederg.
Other walk-in clinics in West Tyrone over the next month will be held at Strathroy Community Centre in Omagh on Thursday, August 26 and Dromore Sports Complex on Friday, September 3.
They will also take place between 4pm and 8pm.
In addition, an expanding number of community pharmacies are offering Moderna vaccine first dose appointments in Northern Ireland.
Mr Swann said, “The walk-in clinics continue to be effective at reaching people. Encouragingly, this shows that there is still demand for vaccination. We will continue to work hard to keep increasing the take-up rate.
“As well as protecting more people from the virus, this will also support our hospitals during what will be an extremely difficult autumn and winter.”
The pop-up walk-in clinics provide first vaccine doses to everyone aged 16-plus. No appointment is needed.
