Friday, 12 August 2022 06:36

The temporary clinic will open on Saturday.

A pop-up covid vacination clinic is returning to Westmeath this weekend.

The temporary clinic will open at Mullingar Primary Care Centre on Saturday from 12 noon to 6.30.

Anyone over the age of 12 requiring their first or second dose or, where eligible, a booster vaccine is invited to make an appointment online or walk in on the day.

The HSE says the aim of the clinic is to maximise covid vaccine uptake in those who have not yet availed of one.

You can book an appointment here.

Nessa Lynch, Operations Manager Simonstown Community Vaccination Centre, which is providing the clinic, says;

"Our aim is to provide an accessible site for any persons 12 years and older who have not yet received a vaccination/booster/second vaccination to attend our pop-up clinic to avail of a vaccine. We have made great progress with our community vaccination programme throughout Midlands Louth Meath CHO and we want to build on these gains and ensure as many people as possible avail of the vaccine."

Des O ‘Flynn, Chief Officer of Midlands Louth Meath CHO, added;

"Vaccines are working and helping to prevent severe illness across Ireland. Therefore, it is important that people receive their booster/second COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they can. That way we can protect ourselves, our loved ones and our wider community. We would encourage eligible people to avail of the opportunity to take up a vaccination at the pp-up clinic in Mullingar."
