Over 30,000 people received a Covid-19 vaccine at walk in centres over the weekend.

It was predominantly younger people who received the jab, although an 83 year turned up at a centre in Sligo.

The HSE’s National Lead for the Vaccination Programme, Damien McCallion, says they might open them again, saying the HSE is looking at extending the centres after they proved a success over the weekend.

The Health Service says it outstripped their expectations.

CEO Paul Reid says it shows young people showed up, when needed.

Bank holiday Monday was the busiest day for the centres, at around 11,000 people.
