Walk-in booster clinic for over 40s in Mayo
Walk-in clinics are taking place in the Breaffy House Resort vaccination centre this week for anyone aged 40 and over who is eligible for a booster vaccine. There is no appointment needed.
The clinics are taking place tomorrow (Tuesday) from 10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., on Wednesday (December 22) from 2 p.m. to 7.45 p.m., and on Thursday (December 23) from 2 p.m. to 7.45 p.m
Additional walk-in clinics for those aged 60 to 69 only are being held on Thursday (December 23) from 10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5.15 p.m., and on Friday (December 24) from 8 a.m. to 11.45 a.m.
To be eligible for a booster vaccine, you must have reached the interval of at least 90 days since your second dose vaccine or single dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine before coming to a walk-in clinic.
Anyone who has had Covid-19 since their previous vaccination should wait to get their booster dose at least six months after the positive test result.
It is difficult to anticipate how many people will arrive at the same time to a walk-in clinic and people may have to queue. There is updated information on queue times available from the HSE Twitter feed (@HSELive).
The vaccination centre will be closed on December 25 and 26 (Christmas Day and St. Stephen's Day) and will re-open on December 27. Details of the walk-in clinics next week will be available from hse.ie later this week. The dates and times of the vaccination clinics are updated regularly, with new dates and times added.
Scheduled appointments
The vaccination centre is also running scheduled appointment clinics and anyone who receives an invitation by text is asked to come to the appointment, if possible, or reply to the text message to reschedule. There is a separate queue for people with scheduled appointments and this queue is prioritised.
People who are aged 40 and older who are eligible for a booster dose and have reached the interval of 90 days since their second dose (or since their single dose Janssen vaccine) may also get their booster vaccine by booking an appointment with a participating pharmacy. The details of participating pharmacies are available on hse.ie.
There are walk-in clinics for healthcare workers taking place at specific times every day this week. The details of the clinic times are listed on hse.ie.
