The head of the HSE’s vaccination campaign has said that walk-in clinics will continue this week in a bid to give the booster vaccine to as many people as possible.

To date 1.5 million booster vaccines have been administered, Damien McCallion told Newstalk Breakfast and RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland with 300,000 doses given last week alone. On some days more than 50,000 were administered.
