As well as walk-in clinics taking place across the region in the coming days, the Mid-West Covid-19 Vaccination Centres are among the first in the country to use the SwiftQueue self-scheduler, which is available at this link:ย https://bit.ly/3qfRcbs

This allows eligible members of the public book a vaccination appointment in advance.ย Registration portals for vaccination open a number of days prior to the clinics. Self-scheduling clinics for the under 30s who received a Janssen primary course are taking place across all three centres in the MidWest this Sunday, January 2 and can be booked in advance at the above link. Walk-In Clinics for under 30s who received a primary Janssen dose are also taking place this Sunday (see details below).

Walk-in booster clinics also continue at all three centresโ€”Scoil Carmel, Limerick; West County Hotel, Ennis; Abbey Court Hotel, Nenaghโ€”in line with national guidance, for people in the 30+ years age group.

In Limerick, there is a free shuttle bus service running between the Southcourt Hotel, Raheen, and the vaccination centre at Scoil Carmel, every half-hour between 8am and 7.30pm. Limited parking is available onsite, with additional parking at the nearby former Moloneyโ€™s Garage at Punchโ€™s Cross, from which there is easy pedestrian access to Scoil Carmel.

Details of all walk-in clinics are available on the HSE website atย this linkย โ€“ย https://bit.ly/3e0gtRjย โ€“ which is updated regularly as new clinics are added, and should be checked by people who wish to be vaccinated but are unable to attend this weekโ€™s walk-in clinics for Booster doses and primary Dose 1 and 2 vaccination.

People aged 16 years and older should not attend for a Booster dose until three months (90 days) have elapsed since you received your Dose 2 vaccine. Anyone in this age group who had the single-dose Janssen vaccine must also wait at least three months before attending for a Booster dose. Anyone who has had a Covid-19 positive result in the last three months should not attend for a Booster dose, in line with the latest national guidance.
