Do We Have Vaccines Available?
We have the lastest versions of both Moderna Covid-19 Vaccines (Spikevax) and Pfizer (Comirnaty) in stock at the moment and available for appointments. These new versions of the Covid-19 vaccines are referred to as “bivalent”. These adapted vaccines are expected to give you better protection against COVID-19, including the Omicron variant.
Please note that the specific vaccine brand (i.e. Pfizer or Moderna) we use on a particular day will depend on several factors including availability, expiry dates etc. Those aged under 30 years of age are not recommended to receive the Pfizer vaccine rather than Moderna but, other than that, we will not be offering a choice. Those who have a preference for a particular brand should contact the HSE directly.
