Walk-in maternity vaccination clinics in MRH Mullingar

Women attending maternity services in the Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar can avail of dose one and dose two vaccines at special walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinics set up at the hospital or local covid-19 vaccination centre. Women and their partners are welcome for vaccination.

Prof Chris Fitzpatrick, Clinical Lead for the vaccination programme for the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group and a Consultant Obstetrician said:

“The walk-in vaccination clinics have proved to be a very popular option for people who have not been able to make a scheduled appointment. Although we are well advanced in the vaccination programme, we know there are still people requiring vaccination.  Covid-19 poses significant risks in pregnancy to both mothers and their unborn babies - including admission to intensive care and stillbirth. There is now considerable evidence to show COVID-19 vaccines are very safe throughout all of pregnancy, and offer the very best protection to women who are pregnant. Both NIAC and the HSE recommend women who are pregnant or trying for a baby to get a COVID-19 vaccine. We therefore appeal to women and their partners as well as other family members to get the vaccine. We will continue to work with obstetricians, midwives and GPs to ensure we can provide clinics with the necessary flexibility to meet the additional needs of women who are pregnant - and greatly appreciate the feedback that we have received from women attending our vaccination centres".

The HSE  encourages women to talk to their obstetrician, midwife or GP about getting their COVID-19 vaccine if they are pregnant. Following this consultation, women can attend for a vaccine at a walk-in vaccination centre at various locations across the country.

Factual and updated information on the COVID-19 vaccine is available on the HSE website. The HSE encourages all women to read the information, and to discuss vaccination with their obstetric caregiver.

You can also attend any of the participating vaccination centres around the country. Please see a link to the timings and locations of the walk-in vaccination centres here. Please note timings in the designated vaccination centres will vary across locations.

All COVID-19 vaccines are free of charge and will give you protection from COVID-19.
