Staff at the vaccination centre in Cavan have thrown aside their scrubs and replaced them with superhero costumes, in a bid to make the process less daunting for children.

The staff at the centre, which is based at the Kilmore Hotel, came up with the idea after it was confirmed that children aged 5-11 years-old could receive the vaccine. "We are aware from our experience, that there is a nervousness.

The vaccination centre is decorated with colourful balloons and staff, including vaccinators, are dressed in costumes from Action Man to Snow White, Bananaman to Spiderman.
