The Health Service Executive (HSE) is to start a spring Covid-19 booster vaccination programme for specific groups. The programme is for people aged 70 years and older, residents of long-term care facilities for older adults and people aged five years and older with a weak immune system.

Those eligible can get a booster vaccine from a participating GP or pharmacy or at a Community Vaccination Centre (CVC). Those eligible must wait at least three months since their previous Covid-19 vaccine, or since they have had a Covid-19 infection, before getting the booster.

Over the next few weeks, residents of long-term care facilities for older adults will be vaccinated by HSE mobile vaccination teams.

Children under 12 years with a weak immune system will be vaccinated at CVCs. The HSE says it aims to complete this Covid-19 booster programme by the end of May.
