Town Centre Vaccination Clinic Opens – online registration possible

By Sean Moriarty
A new vaccination clinic is set to open in Sheahan’s Pharmacy Main St on Friday.
The long-established family pharmacy in the heart of Killarney is ready to start administrating the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to over 50s who are still waiting for a jab.
A new clinic has been established on Bohereencaol to the rear of Sheahan’s Pharmacy.
Bookings will be possible via a newly launched online portal which is believed to be a first for any Killarney-based pharmacy.
Members of the public are invited to register for an appointment and even those outside the over 50 age group can book and they will be called once their cohort time goes live.
“Staff from Sheahan’s Pharmacy are delighted to welcome its first vaccination participants at our modern clinic which is just behind the pharmacy premises on Main Street,” William Sheahan told the Killarney Advertiser. “We are starting with the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine and will have 40 slots available in the next two weeks but are welcoming all ages to register interest on our website and we will contact them when we are able to vaccinate that cohort as more vaccines come on stream in the coming weeks.”
Other vaccines, including the Pfizer version, are expected to be released to pharmacies as the government ramps up its vaccine roll out.
Members of the public can book a slot on Sheahan’s website: www.sheahanspharmacy.ie or where this is not possible they are welcome to call the pharmacy 064-6631113 to make the appointment.
