COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Clinics: 50-69s

There is no appointment required for Walk-In Booster Vaccine Clinics for anyone aged between 50 and 69 years. However, these clinics are for this age group ONLY: no others will be permitted. Please note that five months (150 days) should have elapsed since you received your Dose 2 vaccine before attending for a Booster vaccine.

Anyone aged between 50 and 69 who had the single-dose Janssen vaccine, must wait at least three months before attending for a Booster dose.

Anyone who has had a COVID-19 positive result in the last 6 months should not attend for a booster vaccine.

Further information on the COVID-19 Vaccine Booster is available at this link.

COVID-19 Vaccine Dose 1 and Dose 2 Clinics

The Walk-In Dose 1 and Dose 2 Vaccine Clinics in our centres should NOT be attended by anyone seeking a third vaccine dose.

Anyone attending for Dose 2 should bring their vaccine record card. A minimum of 21 days must have passed after Pfizer Dose 1 before Dose 2 is administered. The interval is 28 days for people who have received AstraZeneca/Moderna Dose 1 and are presenting for Pfizer Dose 2.

Please note: anyone presenting for Dose 1 or Dose 2, and who has received a COVID-positive swab, should not attend for vaccination until 28 days after the date of the COVID-positive result.

-----

No appointment is necessary for any of these walk-in clinics, and there is no requirement to register on the national vaccine registration portal. However, in the case of Dose 1 and Dose 2 clinics, children under 16 years must be accompanied to centres by a parent or guardian.

For identification, anyone attending either Booster or Dose 1&2 clinics should bring their birth certificate, or a photo ID (i.e., driving licence, Public Services Card, travel pass, passport, Garda-issued National Age Card, or school or college ID). For queries, contact the local HSE-approved helpline number on 087-9681240 (9am-6pm, seven days a week). All walk-in clinic dates and times and related information will be published on the HSE website here.

People should note that they may experience delays when attending walk-in clinics, and we would advise people to dress appropriately for the inclement weather we are experiencing currently.

Anyone with queries about COVID-19 vaccination may contact the national helpline on 1850-241850.
