Don’t miss out on the Big Jab Weekend - that’s the message for the second and final day of the special vaccination promotion.
Health Minister Robin Swann said: “The first day has been very encouraging. It has been great to see so many young people coming forward to get protected from COVID-19.
“To anyone still holding back, my message is simple – don’t be left behind. Please head to one of our mass vaccination clinics or mobile pop-up clinics today.
“Vaccination protects you and the people around you and it opens doors to normality.”
The Big Jab Weekend promotion on August 21 and 22 sees Northern Ireland’s mass vaccination centres once again offering walk-in first jabs for all adult age groups. That’s on top of ongoing vaccinations at walk-in pop-up clinics across Northern Ireland, and by appointment at participating community pharmacies.
