The Clare Champion Clare news, sport, entertainment and local notes
ANOTHER series of scheduled walk-in vaccination clinics for adults and chidren aged 12 and over will take place in Ennis, Limerick and Nenagh on Saturday and Sunday.
At the West County Hotel in Ennis and at Limerick Racecourse and the Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh, people can get dose one or two of the Pfizer vaccine, or Moderna dose two, between the hours of 9am and 6pm.
Anyone attending for second doses of Pfizer or Moderna should bring their vaccine record card with them, and note that 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. The second dose of Moderna must be administered at least 28 days after Moderna Dose 1.
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 the centre by a parent or guardian.
For identification, anyone attending these clinics should bring with them their birth certificate, or a photo 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 at https://vaccine.hse.ie/#register
