HSE Chief Paul Reid has said the turn-out for walk-in vaccination centres across the country is "off to a great start" as anyone aged 16 or older can turn up at a walk-in vaccination centre from this morning and get their first Covid-19 vaccine.

Mr Reid said a "great response" has been shown by Irish people as centres are reporting a solid turnout.
