Walk-In Vaccination Clinics at Mid-West Covid-19 Vaccination Centres this weekend

Pfizer Dose 2 vaccine available for those who have received AstraZeneca Dose 1

No-appointment walk-in vaccine clinics for adults, children aged 12 and over

Walk-in vaccination clinics for adults, and children aged 12 and over, are being held in the Mid-West COVID-19 Vaccination Centre in the Abbey Court Hotel, Nenagh, this Saturday, and in the vaccination centres at Limerick Racecourse and the West County Hotel, Ennis, on Sunday.

These local clinics form part of the nationwide effort to maximise uptake for Pfizer Dose 1&2, and to ease access for those people who have received AstraZeneca Dose 1 and who now, as per national guidance, can receive the Pfizer vaccine as their second dose.

The Abbey Court Hotel clinic will take place on:

Saturday September 25th

Pfizer Dose 1 & 2

9am-6pm

Anyone attending for second doses of Pfizer should bring their vaccine record card with them, and note the following: for the Pfizer vaccine, a minimum of 21 days must have passed after Dose 1 before Dose 2 is administered. This should be observed also for people who have received AstraZeneca Dose 1 and who are receiving Pfizer for their second dose.

Those who wish to attend the clinics do not require an appointment, and do not need to register in advance on the national vaccine registration portal. Please note that children under 16 years must be accompanied to centres by a parent or guardian.

For identification, anyone attending these clinics should bring their birth certificate, or a photo ID (i.e., driving licence, Public Services Card, travel pass, passport, Garda-issued National Age Card, or school or college ID). For queries, contact the local HSE approved helpline number on 087-9681240 (9am-6pm, seven days a week). All clinic dates and times related information will be published on www.hse.ie. Outside of these walk-in clinics, parents or guardians of children aged 12 to 15 may continue to register children on the HSE website via this link: https://vaccine.hse.ie/#register
