Booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine

A booster dose is an extra dose of COVID-19 vaccine. It gives better protection to people who have already been vaccinated.

Read the HSE Guide to Boosters

Third Booster Dose

A third booster vaccine is now recommended for some people who are at higher risk from serious COVID-19 illness.

You should get a second booster if you are:

• 65 years or older, or

• 12 to 64 with a condition that puts you at high risk of serious illness from COVID-19 - only if your second booster dose was not a bivalent vaccine

• 12 years or older with a weak immune system

This can be administered at the same time as your Flu Vaccine for the above categories

Second booster dose

You can get your second booster dose now if you are:

• age 50 to 64
• 12 or older with a condition that puts you at high risk of serious illness from COVID-19 - for example, diabetes, asthma or heart disease
• pregnant (from 16 weeks)
• a healthcare worker - bring your work ID or a letter as proof of employment
• 12 or older living in a long-term care facility

You can check the date of your first booster on your digital COVID cert.

If you have had COVID-19 since your first booster, wait at least 4 months after you tested positive or from when your symptoms started.
