Members of the public have been advised to check their eligibility online before they schedule an appointment. A notice from the HSE reads: "If you are in the 16+ age group you need to wait three months (at least 90 days) after your first round of Covid-19 vaccination before you can get a booster and if you had Covid-19 since you were vaccinated, you should get your booster dose at least three months after your positive test result.
"If you are in the 12-15 age group you need to wait six months (at least 179 days) after receiving your second dose of Covid-19 vaccination before you can get a booster and if you had Covid-19 since you were vaccinated, you should get your booster dose at least six months after your positive test result."
