Western Trust Director of Director of Performance and Service Improvement and Vaccine Programme Lead, Teresa Molloy, said: “Everyone who takes up the vaccination is helping keep their family, friends and the wider community safe from the worst effects of Covid. By getting vaccinated, students will be playing a vital part in getting normality back and therefore reducing the threat of disruption to their education and all aspects of student life.”
