Covid-19 booster vaccine to be offered to children aged 12 to 15

Covid-19 booster jabs will be offered to children aged between 12 and 15, Stephen Donnelly has confirmed.

It comes after the Minister for Health accepted recommendations made by the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) to Dr Tony Holohan.

The advice states that a booster dose of the mRNA vaccine Comirnaty, the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech, should be given at an interval of six months or longer since completion of the primary vaccine series.
