UL Hospitals’ Group vaccinators will open Walk-In Covid-19 Vaccine Booster Clinics for 60-69-year-olds this weekend.
The group will continue to run separate walk-in clinics for anyone in the Mid-West who has not yet received their primary Dose One or Dose Two vaccines.
The Walk-in Covid-19 Vaccine Booster clinics for 60-69s will be held at the Mid-West Covid-19 Vaccination Centre in Limerick Racecourse this Sunday, November 28 from 8.15am to 6pm.
They will continue on Monday at the former OPD at Ennis Hospital from 8.30am to 6pm, and the Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh from 8.30am to 6pm.
There is no appointment for these Walk-In Booster Vaccine Clinics, which will deliver a single booster dose of the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.
These clinics are for 60-69 year-olds only – no other age groups are permitted. Five months or 152 days should have elapsed since a person received their Dose 2 vaccine before attending for a booster.
As with other vaccine clinics, anyone attending these walk-in clinics should bring their vaccine record card, and also bring identification, either their birth certificate or a valid photo ID such as 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.
