Vaccination Centres In The Midlands To Shut Down

Laois will be the only county in the region with a vaccination centre.

Vaccination centres in the midlands are set to be closed down within the next three weeks.

The HSE has decided to reduce the number of centres to 15, due to a reduction in the number of people seeking vaccine appointments.
