Long lines at centres across the country have seen attendees waiting hours in some cases

This weekend will see walk in booster vaccine clinics in operation across the Shannonside Northern Sound region.

The number of booster Covid vaccines rolled out across the country has passed one million, with nearly 40 thousand given out nationally yesterday alone.

That's despite long queues at some walk-in centres across the country, leading to some people being turned away.

Walk in Covid Booster centres will be in operation across the region from today until Sunday for those who are at least 5 months on from their 2nd vaccine.

The Longford centre in Newtownforbes is currently open for those between 50 and 69 until 4 o'clock this afternoon, with attendees currently facing a 30 minute wait.

In Monaghan, one walk in clinic at the Glencarn Hotel has just finished with another due to begin at 1.30 and finish at half five.
