Four walk-in centres will be operating for over 16s across the midlands this weekend.

There's capacity for 2,000 people to be vaccinated at the walk-in centre opening in Tullamore this weekend.

The new walk-in format is being launched at four centres across the midlands, in effort to get as much of the population vaccinated as possible.

The first dose of the Pfizer jab will be offered to anyone over the age of 16.

Site Manager of the HSE Covid Vaccination Centre at the Tullamore Court Hotel, Bernie Mann, and Clinical Lead at the centre, Paula Trainor, have been discussing the new walk-in centre with Will Faulkner on Midlands Today:
