Walk-in and appointment-only vaccination clinics will be open across the country this weekend for people aged 12 and over to receive their first or second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The HSE said that those who received their first dose of the Astra Zeneca vaccine, can choose to get an mRNA Pfizer or Moderna vaccine as their second dose.
Children aged 12 to 15 years must attend the centres with their parent or guardian. However, the HSE said that the walk-in centres are not for booster vaccines which will begin next week for those over 60 years.
Yesterday the Department of Health was notified of 2,549 new cases of Covid-19. As of this morning there are 481 patients in hospital with the virus.
