15 pop up vaccination centres have opened up at colleges across the country today.

It comes as thousands of first years are set to attend campuses for the first time today as in-person teaching returns.

The clinics will provide first or second doses to students and staff on a walk-in basis.

The HSE says the aim is to maximise vaccine uptake in groups who may not be vaccinated yet, including international students.

Here in Dublin they're at Trinity College, DCU, Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, National College of Art and Design, and TU Dublin.

David Walsh, HSE Work Stream Lead Vaccination Process and Workforce, says: "Young people across Ireland have demonstrated their support for the vaccination programme and the incredible uptake rates have shown this.

"The aim of this Vaccination Week is to enhance and promote vaccination uptake among young people as they start or go back to college this month and to ensure any students, who have not been vaccinated yet, including international students, have the option to be protected."

The clinic locations are:
• University College Cork
• NUI Galway
• Trinity College Dublin
• University of Limerick
• Dublin City University
• Maynooth University
• Munster Technological University Cork
• Mary Immaculate College
• Royal College of Surgeons Ireland
• National College of Art and Design
• Athlone Institute of Technology
• Limerick Institute of Technology
• TU Dublin (All 3 campuses - Blanchardstown, Grangegorman, Tallaght)
