Two COVID-19 pop-up vaccination clinics will be held St. Mary’s Parish Centre, Stranorlar on Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th of July.
The clinics will be open from 11am to 5.45pm on both days for those aged 12 years and over for Dose 1, Dose 2 and booster vaccines.
Those aged 65 years and over and who are eligible for a 2nd booster may also attend on the day.
Please note 12-15 year olds must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and walk-ins are welcome.
Operational Site Manager Letterkenny CVC Donna Carroll said: “We would ask those over 65 years of age and those with a weak immune system to come forward for their second COVID-19 booster. As we are experiencing another wave of COVID-19, getting your primary and booster vaccines offer the best chance against COVID-19.”
The list of conditions considered to cause a weak immune system can be see here: https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/get-the-vaccine/weak-immune-system/#weak-immune-system-list

It is important that you do not go to a vaccination clinic if you have COVID-19, have symptoms COVID-19 or have been told to self-isolate.
Interval between first round of COVID-19 vaccination and first booster
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 (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 your booster. If you had COVID-19 since you were vaccinated, you should get your booster dose six months (at least 179 days) after your positive test result.
Interval between first and second booster
If you are 65 and over, or you are aged 12 and over and have a weak immune system, you should get your second booster 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.
If you have had COVID-19 since your first booster, wait at least 4 months after you tested positive or from when your symptoms started.
