Walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinics continue this week at centres across the West and North West including Kilbride in County Roscommon, Carrick on Shannon in Co. Leitrim and Sligo IT.
Anyone aged 12 upwards who needs a vaccine is invited to come to a walk-in clinic for their vaccine. Bring photo ID and your vaccine record card. Parental consent is required for all children’s appointments.
Pregnant women
The guidance on vaccination for pregnant women has changed and women at any stage of pregnancy are now encouraged to take up the COVID-19 vaccine following a discussion with their midwife, GP or obstetrician. If advised by their healthcare team, women can register online for a vaccination appointment or go to a walk-in vaccination clinic at any stage of pregnancy.
Mixed vaccines doses
People who received a first dose of AstraZeneca can receive an mRNA (Pfizer/Moderna) vaccine as their second dose. NIAC recommends that receiving two doses of the same vaccine are preferred for all age groups, where possible. You can read more about this here..
