WINTER COVID BOOSTER VACCINE

COVID-19 BOOSTER

The protection from previous doses or a COVID-19 infection may weaken over time. Booster doses help boost your antibodies and give you good protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if you get COVID-19.

Who can get a Booster

You will be offered a booster dose from September 2025 if you are:

age 60 or older
age 18 years and older with a condition that puts you at high risk of serious illness from COVID-19
those living in long term care facilities for older adults

How long to wait

You have to leave some time between your booster and your last COVID-19 vaccine or COVID-19 infection.

If you are eligible for a winter booster vaccine, you should wait at least 6 months since your last COVID-19 vaccination or COVID-19 infection before getting it.

To make your appointment for your Covid Booster contact 052 744 1364.
