According to the UL Hospitals Group, a total of 2,649 people received first-dose Pfizer vaccines by attending walk-in clinics over the bank holiday weekend.

“Covid remains a real threat, and it was wonderful to see so many people taking time during a holiday weekend to play their part in the collective battle against the disease. I would hope for a similar response this weekend, and we’re asking everyone aged 16 and over who hasn’t been vaccinated to take this golden opportunity to get a First Dose Pfizer vaccine. No appointment is necessary, and every single person who is vaccinated is playing a major part in enhancing our societal immunity to Covid-19,” said Colette Cowan, CEO of UL Hospitals. 

For identification purposes, anyone attending the walk-in clinics must bring their birth certificate, or a photo ID. They must also supply their PPSN and a mobile phone number.

There is no requirement for a parent or guardian to accompany a 16 or 17 year old.
