There is now just one Covid-19 vaccination centre operational in County Westmeath following the closure of the Athlone Institute of Technology facility and subsequent relocation to Moate Community Centre.
A spokesperson for the HSE confirmed to the Athlone Advertiser this week that the administration of Covid-19 vaccines commenced in Moate Community Centre on Thursday last.
The vaccination clinic in Moate, which features 18 booths, will initially operate for 12 hours daily depending upon public demand.
Complete with 40 booths, the Athlone Institute of Technology based vaccination centre commenced operations in April and in a document issued by the HSE it was detailed that site related costs of €677,200 were incurred for the rental and fit out of the facility for a four month period.
