Limerick walk-in clinics for COVID-19 ‘spring booster’ set to continue

THE COVID-19 Spring Booster programme will shortly end in mid-June, and walk-in clinics are open to Limerick residents over the coming days. 

The HSE is again reminding those aged 70 or older and those aged 5 years or older with a weak immune system and who have not yet received their COVID-19 Spring Booster vaccine to avail of it as soon as possible, after seeing an increase in demand.

Limerick vaccinations will take place until Saturday, June 3, at Scoil Carmel on O’Connell Avenue. Those seeking the spring booster who cannot find a suitable walk-in time, can book an appointment at a vaccination centre or find a pharmacy offering COVID-19 vaccines.

Eileen Whelan, National Lead, COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, HSE said: "We are reminding those who have weak immune systems or those who are immunocompromised that it’s not too late to avail of their Spring Booster vaccine. Walk-in clinics continue to be available with no appointment required making it easy for people to receive their Spring Booster vaccine.

"People’s immunity weakens over time, especially in older people. This latest booster will keep you protected from serious illness and boost your immunity against infection from COVID-19. 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."
