Second Booster vaccination Program 

To maintain high levels of immunity in those most at risk of severe disease a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine has been recommended by NIAC/HSE for the following:

• Those aged 65 and over
• those aged 12 and over who are immunocompromised

The second booster is recommended at least 6 months after the first booster or 6 months after COVID 19 infection.

We will be running clinics for this vaccine roll out from as soon as we are notified of a start date.

Please call/email reception to leave your name if you are interested in receiving this or contact the HSE to book in with them.

COVID-19 Booster Vaccine is now been rolled out for 12-15 year olds by the HSE.

We are not offering this service at Boyne Medical Practice.

Please note 12-15 year olds must leave at least 6 months between 2nd vaccine and booster vaccine as per HSE/NIAC guidelines.

Boyne Medical Practice asks that patients

• continue to wear face coverings while inside the surgery
• continue to use hand sanitiser
• and do not attend your appointment if you have any COVID 19 symptoms

This is to keep our staff and patients safe.
