NURSE immunisers from Western District Health Service (WDHS) travelled to Coleraine this week as part of a program to increase accessibility to the COVID-19 vaccinations.

On Wednesday night, dozens of Coleraine locals seized the opportunity to get their shot, with several businesses also making the most of the visit to support their staff to get the jab.
