Get boosted for Christmas

THE Department of Health is encouraging all adults eligible for their booster to get the jab at one of the many vaccination clinics in operation this week.

As of yesterday, all those aged over 18 who received their second dose at least three months ago, can now take up the opportunity to get boosted.

The programme has seen a sharp acceleration in recent weeks with latest figures showing that more than half of those eligible for their booster have now received it.
