Pharmacy jabs begin today

By Michelle Crean
Pharmacists across Kerry - including four in Killarney - are ready to begin giving the Johnson and Johnson Janssen jabs to the over 50s as the latest stage of the vaccine rollout.
Kennellys Pharmacy at The Reeks Gateway, Park Road Care Plus on Countess Road, Boots Deerpark Shopping Centre, and Sheahans Pharmacy on Main Street will be booking people in groups as each vile lasts just a number hours once opened.
Staff at Kennellys Pharmacy at The Reeks are ready to welcome in their first vaccine participants today (Friday). Each had pre-booked their slot, according to Dispensary Manager Christina O'Grady.
"We are starting today for the over 50s only with the Janssen Johnson and Johnson one dose jab," she told the Killarney Advertiser.
She said that they have been busy in the pharmacy all week booking people in, however for now, depending on demand and supply available, they'll be vaccinating people two days a week.
"We're taking a list of people. It'll probably be only two mornings a week - it all depends on the uptake."
Pharmacist Finbarr Kennelly said it's a great way to give a vaccine to those who may have missed theirs.
"It's an opportunity for the over 50s who have missed their vaccine for whatever reason. The advantage is that it's a one shot vaccine."
Anyone who'd like to book in for their vaccine can call Kennellys on 064 6639427.
