COVID-19 and booster updates

 

COVID-19 and booster updates

People in the following groups who haven't had a second booster vaccine can now boost their protection:

  • People aged 50 and older.
  • People aged 12 or over with a long-term health condition like diabetes, asthma or heart disease.
  • Healthcare workers.
  • Anyone who is at least 16 weeks pregnant. If you're pregnant and you haven't had a first booster, you can get this at any stage of your pregnancy.

Your next COVID-19 vaccine will help protect you from serious illness in the months ahead. This is because protection from previous vaccines or from COVID-19 infection, decreases over time.

If you've had COVID-19 recently, wait 4 months before booking your vaccine appointment.

Vaccines are also available from participating GPs and pharmacies.

For more up to date information or to book an appointment in a HSE vaccination centre, visit hse.ie or call our team in HSE Live on 1800 700 700.
