More than one million people have now had at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine – over 70% of our adult population – and more than 625,000 (over 40%) have received two doses. Opening the booking system to all adults is another important milestone in the vaccination programme, which was launched less than six months ago.
Health Minister Robin Swann explains, “I am delighted that our vaccination programme is now open to all adults in Northern Ireland. “I know this will be very welcome news for young people who have been waiting patiently for their turn to get the jab. “Today’s announcement is another important milestone in the drive to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we can so that we can see a return to normality.
