May 2022

Eligibility for 2nd Covid Booster dose

You can book an appointment for a second booster dose
if you meet the following criteria;

• 65 years or older or
  Immunocompromised Patients >30 years (<30’s HSE Service Only)
• You should get a second booster at least 4 months (at least 120 days) after your first booster .
• If you have had COVID-19 since your first booster, wait at least 4 months before you get a second booster
  Previous vaccination dates available on the covid-19 digital certificate

Why you may need a second booster

You may be more at risk of serious illness from COVID-19 if you have a weak immune system or are aged 65 or older.

This is because:

• the protection from previous doses may weaken with time
• you may be at greater risk of severe illness
• your immune system may not respond as strongly to vaccination

Data from other countries shows that a second booster will give you extra protection from COVID-19. A second booster can prevent the possibility of hospitalisation or death from COVID-19 illness.
