Ireland’s Chief Medical Officer is calling on people to attend walk-in Covid-19 vaccination centres this weekend.
Walk in vaccination appointments are happening this weekend at LYIT Letterkenny. The Carndonagh vaccine centre is not accepting walk-in clinics this weekend, but people can register online to get an appointment.
After 1,782 new cases of Covid-19 were confirmed yesterday, DMO Dr Tony Holohan said: “Today and this weekend, the HSE are operating additional walk-in COVID-19 vaccination centres right across the country. This time last year, we could not have hoped for such highly safe and effective vaccines to aid us in suppressing this virus, nor that we would in fact have a range of them to use.
“The COVID-19 vaccination programme shows not only the best of scientific endeavour, but also commendable solidarity in those who come forward to receive a vaccine for the good of their wider community.
“I strongly encourage anyone still awaiting their COVID-19 vaccine to avail of these vaccination centres this weekend. These vaccines are very effective at protecting against the worst effects of COVID-19. Not only do they offer personal protection, but the more of us who receive a vaccine, the safer we all are as a group.”
