Where to get your booster jab this weekend in Northern Ireland?

Published 17th Dec 2021

An impressive tally of 104,933 boosters has been reported on the vaccination dashboard in the past five days alone.

Patricia Donnelly, the head of Northern Ireland's vaccination programme said: “GPs, pharmacists and Health Trusts are all working flat out on the emergency escalation of the booster programme. We are all hugely encouraged by the numbers of people continuing to come forward. Every effort is being made to keep waits to a minimum and to further increase the programme’s capacity.

“Our official total for boosters and third doses administered now stands at 639,357. I expect that to grow substantially in the coming days. From next week, the booster programme will be open to 18-29 year olds who received their 2nd dose at least three months previously.
