Two COVID-19 pop-up vaccination clinics will be held in Stranorlar this weekend on Friday the 10th and Saturday 11th June.
The clinics will be held in the St. Mary’s Parish Centre on Main Street Stranorlar from 11am to 5.45pm for those aged 12 years and over for Dose 1, Dose 2 and booster vaccines.
Children aged 12-15 must be accompanied by parent/guardian and walk ins are welcome.
Those 65 years and over who are eligible for a 2nd booster may also attend on the day.
Operational Site Manager Letterkenny CVC Donna Carroll said: “Without a booster dose, people are at greater risk from severe illness from COVID-19. We encourage everyone aged 12 or over to attend for their booster once they are eligible.”
Walk-in’s are welcome or people can continue to book appointments at vaccination centres on HSE.ie at this link: https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/get-the-vaccine/covid-19-vaccine-booster-dose/
It is important that you do not go to a vaccination centre if you have COVID-19; if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been told to self isolate.
It is also important to check your eligibility online on HSE.ie before you book your appointment.

· If you are in the 16+ age group you need to wait three months (at least 90 days) after your first round of Covid-19 vaccination before you can get a booster. If you had Covid-19 since you were vaccinated, you should get your booster dose at least three months (at least 90 days) after your positive test result.
· If you are in the 12-15 age group you need to wait six months (at least 179 days) after receiving your second dose of Covid-19 vaccination before you can get a booster. If you had Covid-19 since you were vaccinated, you should get your booster dose at least six months (at least 179 days) after your positive test result.
Interval between first booster and second booster
If you are 65 or over, or you are aged 12 and over and have a weak immune system, you should get your second booster at least 4 months (at least 120 days) after your first booster. You can check the date of your last booster on your digital COVID-19 certificate.
