In Leitrim, appointment-free vaccinations will be available in the Primary Care Centre, Carrick-on-Shannon on Monday from 10am to 2pm.
Deputy Alan Dillon said many people will have registered for a vaccine appointment already, but if they have not received the vaccine, they can still attend the new walk-in clinics. “Registration can be done at the centres themselves, although the HSE say registering online in advance may speed up the process. Anyone who has already registered online is asked to bring a photo ID to the centre. Those who haven’t registered will need their PPS number, Eircode, phone number and email address.”
Anyone who gets their first dose at one of the centres above will get an appointment for their second via test message. This will be at a centre close to their home address. People are also asked to attend the centres alone and not to bring children along.
