Due to the unprecedented success of our 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 our Mallow Vaccination Centre (Mallow GAA Club, Carrigoon, Mallow, Co. Cork).  

Anyone aged 16 and over who has not already received a vaccine can attend at Mallow GAA Complex on Sunday August 8th, 2021 from 11am to 3pm. 

The clinic will be offering first doses of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine. Second doses will not be available, and these walk-in clinics are only open to people who have not already received any dose of a vaccine.

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. Given the wide geographic area that we cover, we are pleased to be able to offer this additional opportunity to the local population aged 16 and over to get their first dose.

Anyone who wishes to receive a vaccine at the clinics must:

• Be aged 16 or over
• Be attending for their first dose, as it will not be possible to administer second doses.
• Bring photographic ID.
• Bring their PPS number.

For those aged between 16-17: who do not have a passport, student ID, 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.

Ms. Lynch continued:

We recommend you bring your PPS number with you (if you have one) to register you on the system so that you are called for your second dose when it’s due.

Ms Lynch added:

We are extremely proud of the progression made by our staff in vaccinating the people across both counties.

Peggy Horan, Project Lead Vaccination Centres said that staff at the centre in Mallow have worked hard to make sure that anyone registered on-line aged 16 or over has been offered an appointment. 

Notes:

The vaccination programme across Cork and Kerry is run in partnership by the South/South West Hospital Group and Cork Kerry Commuity Healthcare.
