Walk-in vaccination clinics will start offering second doses of Covid-19 jabs this weekend, meaning people will now be able to complete the vaccination process without even making an appointment.

It comes as almost half of children aged 12 to 15 have now registered for a vaccine and 72,000 have already received their first shot.
