The teams will administer the Covid-19 Pfizer vaccine.
They added that there is no need to book in advance but people should bring ID with them.

Health Minister Robin Swann has urged friends and parents of young people to encourage vaccination.
“I’m not asking for pests or nagging. Please ensure that your friends and children 18 and over are making an informed decision about vaccination and are aware of everything that is at stake. Sit down with them and have the interview, ”said Robin Swann.
“When young people get the sting, they protect themselves, their parents, their grandparents, and everyone close to them.
“Every vaccination brings us one step closer to normal. A double push opens doors for people. We see that when traveling and the requirements for vaccination certificates for trips abroad.
“My message to young people is: do not be left behind – do not leave yourselves without the protection and opportunities that a double blow brings with it.”
