Local walk-in vaccination clinics this weekend
Following on from the success of last weekend’s Walk-in Vaccination Clinics at Cavan and Monaghan Vaccination Centres, the HSE has announced it will run them again this weekend.
There were 899 first dose Pfizer vaccinations administered at the HSE walk-in COVID-19 Clinic at Cavan Vaccination Centre last weekend; and 490 first dose Pfizer vaccinations administered at the Monaghan Vaccination Centre.
Anyone over the age of 16 can get a first dose Pfizer vaccination without an appointment at either centres. You do not need to be from Cavan or Monaghan to avail of the vaccine.
Vaccinations will be administered at the Monaghan Vaccination Centre at the Glencarn Hotel, Castleblayney on:
Friday, August 6 from 3-7.30pm; Saturday August 7, from 1.30-4.30pm; and Sunday August 8 from 1.30-4.30pm.
Meanwhile vaccinations will be administered at the Cavan Vaccination Centre at the Hotel Kilmore, Cavan town on: Friday, August 6 from 4.30-8.30pm; Saturday August 7 from 8.30am-12.30pm; No walk-in vaccinations on Sunday August 8.
If you attend the walk-in clinic for dose 1, you will be sent an appointment for your second dose by text message to your phone. Your second dose will be arranged at a vaccination centre near your home address, but you can change the location if you wish.
Those intending to go along must bring:
