Those who are 75 years and over and those who are 18 years old and over who are immunosuppressed will be called by their GP to attend for vaccination.
Lead Nurse of the vaccination programme, Kate McGarrigle explained, "Covid-19 continues to be more serious for older people and those with weakened immune systems The level of protection does fade over time which is why booster vaccination is required.
“I welcome the start of the Spring Booster Programme which will help protect those who are the most vulnerable and boost their immunity. I would continue to encourage everyone to receive the doses they are eligible for when they become available."
