The Mayor was speaking during a visit to the Foyle Arena Vaccination Centre where over 108,000 vaccines have been administered and slots are now available for Under 40s to receive their doses.
He praised Derry YouTube sensation Adam B on getting his first vaccination at the centre, saying he was “encouraging our young people to get vaccinated”.
“I was delighted to visit the Foyle Arena today to witness first hand the excellent work being done by Western Trust staff to roll out the vaccination,” he said.
“The centre is currently being used to vaccinate those aged in the 18-39 year old category – there is lots of availability – so if you haven’t had your vaccine yet – please please sign up and book your place.
“For those over the age of 40, who havent yet received their vaccine please register via your local Community Pharmacy.”
The Mayor spoke with local young people who had received the vaccine and thanked them for playing their part in protecting themselves and others from the effect of the virus.

“As Mayor I want to make a direct appeal to every young person across this City and District to get the vaccine.
“Not only are you protecting yourself from the virus you are keeping your family and friends safe.
“By taking this important step you are doing your bit for society and preventing the spread of the virus.
“Thanks for your efforts and for the sacrifices you have made to date – by working together we can get through this and look forward to better times.”
