Vaccination roll-out underway for 16 and 17-year-olds
All 16 and 17-year-olds in Northern Ireland are now able to receive their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
The region became the first in the UK to offer the jab to those aged over 16 and with no underlying medical conditions on Friday.
Sinead Heaney, who was one of the first in line at the mass vaccination centre in Craigavon, told UTV she had no doubts about getting it.
"I was more than excited to get my vaccine," she said.
"The only way out of this is with the majority of the public vaccinated, to see the light at the end of the tunnel and to get back out, being in shops, hanging out with friends and stuff.
"And for the benefit of our own health, our parents and our grandparents, I would just highlight the positives of it."
Anyone in the new age group will be able to receive their jabs as walk-ins to one of the seven regional vaccination centres or by using the online booking tool.
A number of pop-up vaccination clinics will also be administering jabs to 16 and 17 year olds.
ID and proof of date of birth will be required when attending a regional vaccination centre or walk-in vaccination clinic for the jabs.
This cohort will be given the Pfizer vaccine.
The move to vaccinate this age group follows the recommendation from the the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) that those aged 16 and 17 should receive the jab.
