Northern Ireland’s health minister has expressed concern at an incident where some young women were reportedly targeted by anti-vaccine protesters.
Robin Swann said they were heath and social care workers who had been arriving at a regional vaccination centre to receive their coronavirus inoculations.
More than 100,000 doses of the vaccine have been administered, with 91,419 people having received their first dose by Tuesday evening.

“Unfortunately I had a report last week that we were seeing some evidence of protesters appearing outside a regional vaccination centre, and actually with a very concerning narrative,” he said.
