Walk-in Covid-19 vaccine centres are set to open their doors across the country this bank holiday weekend to encourage uptake among younger people.
Anyone aged 16 or older can attend for their first dose without a prior appointment when the centres open on specific days at certain times.
Here we have everything you need to know – from what vaccines are on offer, to the location of the centres in each county.
What vaccines are on offer?
You will be offered either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine at the walk-in centres.
What if I have already registered for a vaccine appointment?
If you have already registered online and are waiting on an appointment for your first dose, you can choose to go to a walk-in clinic instead.
Do I have to attend a walk-in centre near my home?
You can go to any of the walk-in clinics – so feel free to get jabbed while on staycation.
Do I need to do anything before attending a walk-in centre?
You don't have to register online beforehand but the HSE said doing so may speed up your time in the vaccination centre.
If you have already registered online, you will need to bring photo ID that shows your date of birth.
If you have not registered online, you will be registered at the walk-in clinic. For this, you will need your Personal Public Service (PPS) number, Eircode, mobile phone number, email address and photo ID that has your date of birth.
Is there any reason I should not attend a walk-in centre?
You should delay getting your Covid-19 vaccine if you currently have Covid-19 (wait until it has been four weeks since you first tested positive), if you have symptoms of Covid-19 or if you are restricting your movements.
