People aged 50 and over can make a booking to receive a second Covid-19 booster shot from Thursday, the Health Service Executive has said.
Appointments can be made online for a slot at a HSE vaccination clinic and people can also visit a participating GP or pharmacy.
Women more than 16 weeks pregnant are also eligible to book a further vaccine dose.
HSE chief clinical officer Dr Colm Henry reminded the public that keeping up to date with vaccines offered the best protection from serious illness from Covid-19 and offered increased immunity against infection.

“If you haven’t had your primary vaccination, it’s not too late, you can still access the information through the HSE website and book an appointment,” he said.
The HSE and Children’s Health Ireland will shortly be contacting parents of children aged 5-11 years who are immunocompromised to receive their first booster doses.
Those aged 12-49 years with long-term health conditions will be offered a second booster vaccine from next week, while healthcare workers will be offered booster vaccines in the near future, the HSE said.
The health authority urged anyone who has not yet received a primary vaccine dose to consider attending a walk-in clinic.
