The country's first walk-in vaccine centres will open from today.
Those above the age of 16 are eligible to show up at the facilities as long as they have not yet received a first dose of a jab.
The first clinics were announced in the Munster region and a full list of locations has been published by the HSE.
Four clinics in Cork and two in Kerry will offer first-doses of the Pfizer vaccine for anyone aged 16 and over who has not already received a Covid-19 vaccine.
Second doses will not be available.
Michael Fitzgerald, Chief Officer at Cork Kerry Community Healthcare said staff at the centres have already offered appointments by text to anyone from the area who registered online at hse.ie.
“This is an opportunity for anyone who may have missed an appointment to get their first vaccination. It will also allow anyone who has not registered online yet to get their first dose.”
Anyone who wishes to receive a vaccine at a walk-in clinic needs to bring photo ID and have their PPS number to hand.
“You will not be able to receive a vaccine without photo ID and your PPS number,” Mr Fitzgerald stressed.
“We need your PPS number to register you on the system so that you are called for your second dose when it’s due.”
A full list of vaccination clinics in every county has now been published by the HSE.
