‘Anti-vaccine’ protesters have disrupted a walk-in clinic for new mums and pregnant women in Londonderry.
The clinic was held today in the Foyle Arena.
Health Minister Robin Swann said he was pleased to see pregnant women and new mothers coming forward.
“There is sadly no reasoning with these anti-vax crusaders, who remain wedded to their misinformed and distorted agenda. My message to them is simple – you will not divert us from our responsibility to get as many people vaccinated as possible. Vaccination saves lives and reduces levels of serious illness.
“To people who have not yet got their jab, I say please make an informed choice, based on information from trusted sources. Please don’t miss out on the protection that being vaccinated brings.”
