During the past two weeks, those aged 16 and 17 have also become eligible to receive their first dose of the vaccine in Jersey, with appointments bookable via the gov.je website.
Anyone aged 16 or over can attend one of the walk-in sessions at Fort Regent for a first dose, as well as second doses for those whose first dose was at least four weeks earlier.
The vaccination centre will be open for walk-ins between 11.30am and 6.30pm every day until Friday, but will then be closed from Saturday to Monday before reopening next Tuesday.
