Pop-up vaccination centres will open on many college campuses later this month, Minister for Further Education Simon Harris has said.
Mr Harris said these centres will be in addition to the regular vaccination centres which already operate in some colleges for the general public. "This is all about making it as easy as possible for every student and indeed staff member to avail of full vaccination and the protection that that provides," he said on Twitter this morning.
The minister said that more than 83% of people aged between 16-29 have already had their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine while more than 79% have been fully vaccinated.
