HSE encourages eligible cohorts to get COVID-19 Spring Boosters as the programme winds down in Donegal
With just over two weeks left of the COVID-19 Spring Booster programme, the HSE are encouraging eligible cohorts in Donegal to get their boosters this June Bank Holiday weekend.
The Spring Boosters are still available to everyone aged 70 or older and those aged 12 years or older with a weak immune system
across CH CDLMS.
Those who have not received their COVID-19 Spring booster vaccine can now do so at walk-in clinics across CH CDLMS.
The programme will continue to run in CVC’s and pop up clinics across CH CDLMS until June 16. Another booster for this cohort will not be available until the Autumn programme commences later in the year.
If you are eligible, you can also get a COVID-19 Spring booster from a participating GP or a pharmacy.
Vaccines are proven to your best protection against serious illness from COVID-19. If you haven’t had your COVID-19 Spring booster yet, you’re at risk.
COVID-19 vaccination clinics are also offering Primary and First Booster vaccines to those aged 12 years and over.
Those aged 6 months to 4 years and 5 to 11 years can book their appointments online at www.hse.ie
Sinead McConnell, General Manager, COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, CH CDLMS said “We aim to complete the COVID-19 Spring Booster programme mid June and we are urging all those who are eligible to get vaccinated before the end of the programme. We will have many clinics operating across CH CDLMS this June Bank Holiday weekend so please check out the times and venues below for your nearest clinic.”
Anyone aged 5 or older with a weak immune system (immunocompromised) are being offered a COVID-19 Spring booster with those under 12 being vaccinated at our vaccination centres by appointment ONLY. Residents of long-term care facilities for older adults are also being vaccinated by HSE mobile vaccination teams.
