A major extension of Northern Ireland's Covid-19 vaccination programme has been announced today. It will see the start of a drive to inoculate carers against the disease, with both GPs and regional centres administering the jabs.
GPs will also be providing the vaccine to more people with underlying health conditions. In addition, anyone over 70 who has not yet had their first dose from their GP will have the option to book a vaccination appointment at one of seven regional centres.
GPs will be also be making vaccination available to more medically vulnerable people and their carers. This will include people aged 18 plus who have underlying medical conditions.
