- Q&A: Getting jabbed after NI vaccination centres close for first jabs Health Minister Robin Swann has XO said the closure of the centres for first jabs would allow staff to be redeployed back into the health service. If you are due to get your second jab at one of the vaccination centres, you will still be able to do so as long as you received your first dose on, or before, Saturday. The centres, which have been offering walk-in jabs as well as appointments include the SSE Arena in Belfast, Foyle Arena in Londonderry; Omagh Leisure Centre; Lakeland Forum, Fermanagh; South Lake Leisure Centre, Craigavon; Seven Towers Leisure Centre, Ballymena and the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. "The SSE Arena and the leisure centres that we've been using can't be commandeered for vaccination use forever," Mr Swann added. The minister said that GPs had been under intense pressure given the current levels of demand for care and that their role will now include "preparing for the vaccine booster dose and the flu vaccine programme after the summer". There will still be options available for people who change their minds and decide that they do wish to be vaccinated. Chief medical officer Sir Michael McBride said now was the time to get the vaccine. "We will be closing our vaccine centres for first doses. You can still get a vaccine, but it will be more difficult," Sir Michael said. Patricia Donnelly, head of Northern Ireland's vaccination programme, said uptake in the older age groups had been "exceptional". However, as of 30 July, 59% of under 30s had come forward. "We do not want this age group to miss out. Time is running out in vaccination centres for first doses so if you have not already come forward, then please do so."
