People here are being reminded they can still get a COVID-19 jab, despite services being scaled back at vaccination centres. 

Those wanting it can still make appointments at the sites, community pharmacies and can also get vaccinated at pop-up centres.

The reminder comes as 13 COVID-19 deaths were recorded in Northern Ireland over the weekend.

Sinn Fein's Health Spokesperson Colm Gildernew says it's not too late to sign up:

He said: 

"COVID vaccines are still available and it is vital that as many people as possible get vaccinated. 

"Just because the walk-in service for first doses at the vaccination centres has been scaled down it does not mean people can't get vaccinated. 

"People can still make appointments at the vaccine centres, at community pharmacies and can also get vaccinated at the pop-up vaccination centres which are being held across the north. 

"If anyone has not been vaccinated yet and is eligible, I would urge them to get vaccinated as soon as possible in order to protect themselves, protect those around them and help ease some of the pressures on the health service."
