Meanwhile, Health Minister Robin Swann has announced a major expansion of Northern Ireland’s Covid-19 vaccination programme to help meet current and forthcoming demand for booster doses.
It comes after the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended the phased extension of the booster programme to all adult age groups.
It advised that boosters should now be offered to everyone aged 18 and over in order of descending age groups, with priority given to the vaccination of older adults and those in Covid-19 at-risk groups.
Booster vaccination can now be given from three months of completion of the primary course.
