KIDS AGED 2-17 - BOOK CLINIC

Children aged 2 to 17 can get the nasal flu vaccine for free. Your child does not have to be in an at-risk group to receive the vaccine. 

 Aged 65 and Over - BOOK CLINIC

For patients aged 65 and over it is recommended to receive both the Flu vaccine and Covid booster. Both can be administered on the same day. However there must be 4 months between your last Covid booster vaccine or Covid-19 infection.

Appointments can be made via Calendly.

We will open up further appointment slots as vaccine deliery allows so please continue to check availability (delivered alternate weeks to us).

 Aged 18- 64 years - BOOK CLINIC

Flu vaccine is free for those patients who meet the HSE's eligibility criteria.

Covid boosters can also be administered to patients who are immuno-compromised.

PRIVATE VACCINATION

Due to manufacturer's stock limitation there are currently no private Flu Vaccine stocks available.

Therefore the flu vaccine is currently not available to those who are not in the 'at risk' group above.
