People aged 65 years and over are now eligible for their second COVID-19 booster vaccine, those aged 12 years and older with a weak immune system can also get their second booster when it is due.

In the Mid-West, eligible people are now able to book an appointment online to receive their second Booster doses in the COVID-19 Vaccination Centres in Ennis Hospital, Scoil Carmel Limerick and Nenagh Hospital.

People in those cohorts must have received Dose 1, Dose 2 (and additional dose if applicable for the immunocompromised) and the first Booster dose. A period of 120 days must have passed either since receiving the first Booster dose, or since you tested positive for COVID-19.

Booster appointments can be booked online for any of the three Mid-West COVID-19 Vaccination Centres, at the link below:

The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) have recommended people are given an mRNA vaccine for the second booster dose. This is safe to receive if you previously had a different vaccine.

People who are aged 30 years or older will be offered a single Booster dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Those aged 29 years or younger will be offered a single Booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

UL Hospitals Group encourages anyone aged over 65 years, and anyone aged 12 and older who has received a first Booster, to get their second Booster dose when they become eligible. This second booster will give you the best protection from serious illness caused by COVID-19.
