No appointments available for PCR tests in Mayo today

There are no appointments available today for public PCR testing at the Mayo Covid-19 Centre at McHale Park, Castlebar.

That is also likely to be the case tomorrow, such are the high levels of referrals.

The HSE has asked those looking to book a PCR test to continue to check the booking portal as appointments might be made available throughout the day.

In contrast, there are no queues today at the the Mayo Vaccination Clinic at Breaffy.

Booster vaccines are currently available for anyone over the age of 40, pregnant women over 30, healthcare workers over 30, and anyone over 30 with an underlying health condition.

However, from next Wednesday, everyone aged between 30 and 39 can book booster appointments.
