Covid-19 Booster/ 3rd Dose
We have now completed this Booster here for all those aged 80 & over. If you are one of the small number of people who could not get it due to eg illness at the time & still wish to get it, please let us know so that we can link you in with the HSE re same.
For all aged 70-80, the booster will be available through the HSE- likely to be in the Enniscorthy Community Vaccination Clinic. The HSE has linked in with this & other General Practices that are not in a position to continue with the Covid Booster vaccination programme, so as to arrange ongoing Booster Vaccination Programme for all between 70 & 80.
If you are aged 60-69, the HSE will be arranging a vaccination centre appointment for you.
If you have a weak immune system caused by specific conditions/ treatments, please see further information on getting a booster dose here: https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/get-the-vaccine/weak-immune-system/ . Many in this group may have already had their 3rd Dose arranged by their hospital Clinic/Team. If you have not been contacted, please contact us if you have any query. Note that, at present, these situations of particularly weaker immune systems do not include a number of less severe conditions such as asthma, Diabetes. We may await further guidance from the HSE re same.
