Top up your vaccine protection in Sligo-Leitrim for a safe and healthy Christmas

The HSE is advising Flu and COVID-19 viruses are now circulating in our communities and as they are different viruses you will need two vaccines to be protected against both. 

Protection from previous vaccines or from COVID-19 infection decreases over time and your next COVID-19 vaccine will help protect you from serious illness in the months ahead.

If you've had COVID-19 recently, you must wait 4 months before booking your vaccine appointment.

Sligo and Leitrim COVID-19 Vaccination Centres and Pop up mobile clinics are offering primary vaccinations and adapted bivalent booster doses to eligible cohorts.  These new adapted bivalent vaccines offer increased protection against COVID-19 and the Omicron variant. 

You can book your COVID-19 vaccine appointment online at www.hse.ie/book or you can walk-in to the centre. There are different times offered for different age cohorts, therefore please ensure you book/walk-in to the correct clinic for your age.

Flu and COVID-19 viruses are now circulating in our communities and as they are different viruses you will need two vaccines to be protected against both.
