Walk-In Clinics at Vaccination Centres this weekend

ANOTHER round of walk-in Pfizer Dose 1&2 vaccine clinics for adults, and children aged 12 and over, will be held at the Mid-West COVID-19 Vaccination Centres this weekend (October 8th-10th) in Limerick (Friday), Ennis (Saturday) and Nenagh (Sunday).

The clinics—part of the ongoing national effort to maximise public immunity to COVID-19, and to maximise access for those who received AstraZeneca Dose 1 and can, per national guidance, receive the Pfizer vaccine for their second dose—are scheduled as follows:

Date Vaccination Centre Vaccine Clinic Clinic Time
Friday October 8th Limerick Racecourse Pfizer Dose 1 & 2 4.30pm-7.00pm
Saturday October 9th Ennis, West County Hotel Pfizer Dose 1 & 2 4.30pm-7.00pm
Sunday October 10th Nenagh, Abbey Court Hotel Pfizer Dose 1 & 2 1.30pm-6.00pm

 

Those attending for second doses should bring their vaccine record card with them. Please note that a minimum of 21 days must have passed after Pfizer Dose 1 before Dose 2 is administered. This should be observed also for people who have received AstraZeneca Dose 1 and who are presenting for Pfizer Dose 2.

No appointment is necessary for these clinics, and there is no requirement to register on the national vaccine registration portal. However, please note that children under 16 years must be accompanied to centres by a parent or guardian.

UL Hospitals Group COVID-19 vaccination teams continue working to ensure that everyone in the Mid-West will receive a vaccine, in line with national guidance on COVID-19 vaccination. Anyone with queries about COVID-19 vaccination may contact the national helpline on 1850-241850.

In the week to close of business on Sunday October 3rd, a total of 2,050 doses of vaccine were delivered in the Mid-West COVID-19 Vaccination Centres at Limerick Racecourse, the West County Hotel, Ennis, and the Abbey Court Hotel, Nenagh.

This brings to 363,168 the total vaccines administered under the UL Hospitals Group vaccination programme since it began on January 4th, and includes healthcare workers, residents and staff of nursing homes, and patients in the various cohorts and age groups.

These totals do not account for the vaccination work that has been undertaken to date by our colleagues in HSE Mid-West Community Healthcare, the National Ambulance Service, General Practitioners and pharmacists.
