A NEW Covid-19 vaccination centre will open in west Donegal.

Fianna Fáil Councillor Noreen McGarvey has welcomed the news that the HSE have agreed to open a Covid-19 vaccination centre in St Columba’s Community Centre, Burtonport.

Work is currently underway in the building for the setup of the programme and it is hoped that vaccinations will commence within the next 2-3 weeks.

“I had been in contact with the Minister for Health some time ago, outlining the distance that the people from the North West of the county had to travel for both testing and vaccinations,” Cllr McGarvey said.

“I am pleased that the centre will now be opened shortly.

“St Columba’s Community Centre is well equipped with ample car parking, easy access, has a large sports hall and adjacent side rooms to deliver a high quality service to the public.

“I wish to thank the committee of the local community centre for offering their premises for this important programme.”
