Those eligible for the second booster are: people aged over 70, healthcare workers (no age limit) and immunocompromised / immunosuppressed individuals (no age limit).

The walk-in centres are operational on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 8am and 3pm. On Wednesday they are open from 8am to 4pm and Saturdays between 8am and 1pm.
