COVID Boosters explained

COVID-19 vaccines are strongly recommended to protect you from serious illness from COVID-19 (coronavirus). If you have not yet been vaccinated, find out how to get your COVID-19 vaccine.

All about ‘boosters’

If you have received a COVID-19 vaccine, you will be contacted by the HSE/public healthcare worker about receiving a booster dose if you fall into either one of these categories:

• 50 years or older
• 65 year or older and or immunocomprimised, you may be eligible for a third booster
• If you immunocomprimised

What is a booster?

As we age, our body’s immune response to vaccination is weaker, which means protection gets weaker over time. A booster dose helps the immune system to build back up its resistance to an illness, in this case COVID -19, and prevents you from becoming seriously ill if exposed to the virus.
