A Northeast Health spokesman said the decision was made to allow community members who have not yet been able to receive a COVID-19 vaccination to be protected.
"Everyone aged 12 and over is eligible for a Pfizer vaccination," he said in a statement.
"Anyone who would like to bring forward their second dose of Pfizer from six weeks to three weeks can also walk in.
"Existing appointments will be honoured and anyone walking in may experience a wait."
People are reminded to bring their Medicare card to receive their vaccination.
The spokesman said outreach vaccination services had also started.
