Walk-in vaccination centre in Roscommon this weekend

The HSE will be operating a walk-in vaccination centre in Roscommon town this Bank Holiday weekend.

The centre at the Abbey Hotel will be among a series of dose 1 walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinics, over the August bank holiday weekend, nationwide. These clinics will be open to anyone in Ireland over the age of 16 who is not yet vaccinated.

You can attend one of the walk-in clinics and get your first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and you can attend any of the participating vaccination centres around the country.

The walk-in centre at the Abbey Hotel will be open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from 11am to 4pm.

No appointment needed. Vaccinations for ages 16 and above. The vaccine offered will be the first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

The HSE says if you attend the walk-in clinic for dose 1, it will send you an appointment for your second dose by text message to your phone. Your second dose will be arranged at a vaccination centre near your home address, but you can change the location if you wish.

Those attending a walk-in vaccination centre this weekend are asked to bring their  PPS number. If you don’t have a PPSN, you can still be registered and vaccinated. You’ll need to bring proof of address.
