This weekend's numbers were substantially lower than those attending the walk in centres at the start of this month.

Anyone over the age of 16 are welcome to attend for their first vaccination.

Attendees must bring their PPS number, address, mobile number and photographic ID.

The walk-in centres were mainly attended by young adults, with close to 30,000 first doses said to have been administered nationwide over the weekend.

The centres are open to anyone over the age of 16 who is looking to get the first dose of a vaccine.
