Due to the unprecedented success of the Walk in Vaccinations across the country, it is now planned to operate a ‘walk-in’ first-dose Covid-19 vaccinations for anyone aged 16 and over at the Mallow Vaccination Centre based in the Mallow GAA Club facilities at Carrigoon.

Anyone aged 16 and over who has not already received a vaccine can attend on Sunday from 11am to 3pm. 

The clinic will be offering first doses of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine. Second doses will not be available.

Priscilla Lynch, Acting Chief Officer Cork Kerry Community Healthcare said that staff at the centre have already offered appointments by text to anyone from the area who registered online at hse.ie.

“This is an opportunity for anyone in the North Cork area who may have missed an appointment to get their first vaccination. It will also allow anyone who has not registered online yet to get their first dose.”

Anyone who wishes to receive a vaccine this Sunday in Mallow must be aged 16 or over, be attending for their first dose and should bring photographic ID and their PPS number.

For those aged between 16-17 who do not have a passport, student ID or Public Services card, please bring with you a Birth certificate and proof of Personal Public Service number (PPSN).

This can be in the form of a Child Benefit letter containing your PPSN information.
