HSE’s Winter Vaccination Programme encourages people to be winter ready with five pop up COVID-19 clinics across Cavan and Monaghan offering primary vaccinations and adapted bivalent mRNA booster doses to eligible cohorts.
Vaccination is proven to be the best protection against the Flu and COVID-19 viruses that are expected to circulate this winter.
