Vaccine centres in Citywest and Punchestown have released their latest opening hours amid the rollout of Covid-19 boosters.
The HSE extended the vaccine programme to those aged 18-49 at the end of 2022, meaning that all adults are now eligible to receive their second booster dose. The HSE is encouraging people to get added protection against the virus as winter illnesses surge nationwide.
However, the HSE has confirmed that the recent spike in illnesses such as Covid-19, flu and RSV is now declining. Latest figures reveal that Covid-19 cases went from 3,474 in the first week of the year to 1,836 in the week of January 8 to 14.
