Who can get an Spring booster 2024?
You will be offered a booster dose if you are:
- age 80 or older
- age 5 or older with a weak immune system
- those aged 70-79 years who, following discussion with a healthcare provider, request vaccination.
- pregnant women, in the appropriate stage of pregnancy and where the appropriate time since last dose of vaccine has elapsed, remain eligible for booster doses throughout the year.
- age 5 to 49 with a condition that puts you at high risk of serious illness from COVID-19
- a healthcare worker
If you're age 18 to 49 and not in one of the groups above, you can still request a vaccine. Talk to your GP or pharmacist about your reasons for wanting a booster.
Our aim is to have you in and out as quickly as possible, usually about 20 mins. The vaccine will be delivered by injection into your upper arm in the privacy of our vaccination suite.
As is the case with all medicines, vaccines may cause side effects. Not everyone gets side effects, however for those that do, most of these side effects are mild to moderate and short-term.
Comprehensive HSE information on the Pfizer / BioNTech Covid-19 booster vaccine dose is available here
A guide of what to expect after your vaccine is available here.
