Covid-19 vaccination Pop Up Clinic in Primary Care Centre

A HSE pop-up Covid-19 vaccination centre will operate at Mullingar Primary Care Centre from 12 noon – 6.30pm on Saturday August 20.

Persons can walk in on the day, or book an appointment online at: https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/get-the-vaccine/booking/

The vaccination clinic will be for persons over the age of 12 years.

Vaccinations will be provided to those requiring Dose 1, Dose 2, and where eligible and meeting the criteria, those identified for Booster 1 and 2 vaccinations.

The vaccine on offer will be Pfizer.

The aim is to maximise vaccine uptake in those who have not yet availed of, or, require Covid-19 vaccination/booster.

“Our aim is to provide an accessible site for any persons 12 years and older who have not yet received a vaccination, booster, or second vaccination to attend our pop-up clinic to avail of a vaccine,” said Nessa Lynch, operations manager with Simonstown Community Vaccination Centre, which is providing the clinic.

“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, said:

“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 pop-up clinic in Mullingar.”

The pop-up vaccination centre will operate at Mullingar Primary Care Centre from 12 noon – 6.30pm on Saturday August 20.
