65 -69 year-olds in NI can now book for COVID vaccine at Foyle Arena: Here’s how

The Department of Health this week announced a twin track approach to accelerating NI’s vaccination programme.
This will ensure more people can take up the offer of vaccination and help protect themselves against Covid-19.

GPs will be focusing on the 70 plus age group, while the seven regional vaccination centres across Northern Ireland, including the Foyle Arena sports centre in the Limavady Road area of the Waterside, will in parallel be offering vaccination appointments to 65-69 year-olds.

To fall within the 65-69 age bracket you must have been born between 1 April 1951 to 31 March 1956.

Age/identity checks will be conducted on arrival at the vaccination centre.

The online booking is available at covid-19.hscni.net/get-vaccinated/
