Patricia Donnelly Head of the Vaccine Programme says, “Everyone who is eligible for a vaccine will get one.
“Experience has shown that with each new age cohort we get a spike in bookings. Please do not panic.
“If you cannot make an appointment today, please keep trying.
“New timeslots are being released each day through March and into April and you will get your vaccination,” she adds.
The telephone booking service will not be available on Wednesday 17 March but will resume on Thursday 18 March.
The online booking service remains unaffected.
In addition to the Trust Centres, GPs are also now covering the 50 plus age range.
