The vaccine rollout is well underway in Ireland. Over 85% of the adult population has received their first dose of vaccine and 70% of the adult population is fully vaccinated. Now, registration for the vaccine is open for anyone aged 16+ living in Ireland and there some walk in clinics open this weekend for anyone who hasn’t had a COVID-19 vaccine yet.
The vaccines are making a real difference and the more people who get it, the better it will be #ForUsAll.
With that, it’s important that the information you read, listen to and take in about the vaccine rollout is accurate.

How to register
Registration is simple. First, you head to hse.ie. You need your PPS number, an Eircode, a mobile phone number and an email address. You can also register by calling the HSELive team on 1850 700 700.
What if I have questions about the vaccine?
If you have questions about your COVID-19 vaccine, you can find answers that you can trust at hse.ie.
Which vaccine will I get if I register online?
mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are recommended for people under the age of 50. All COVID-19 vaccines are free, safe and will protect you from any severe illness from COVID-19.
What if I have already registered with a pharmacy?
If you have already registered with your local pharmacy, you should still register for your vaccine at hse.ie. When it is your turn to receive the vaccine, you will have the option to get your vaccine at a local pharmacy or at a HSE vaccination centre. A recommended mRNA vaccine may be available to you sooner.
Walk-in clinics
Some walk in clinics are open this August bank holiday weekend. You can go if you’re registered or not and the clinic doesn’t have to be close to where you live but be sure to check opening times and locations before you go. Remember to check what you need to bring too. Locations and details are on hse.ie. Walk in clinics will be offering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
