Professor Luke O'Neill has said it is "likely" that the new Covid-19 vaccine targeting the Omicron variant could be given along with the seasonal flu jab.
Professor O'Neill is part of the new Government's Covid-19 Advisory Group and told Newstalk that he expects recommendations on a winter vaccine to emerge soon. It comes amid a growing number of cases and increased hospitalisations, with 776 people in hospital with Covid-19 and 31 in ICU.
Trinity College Dublin immunologist Professor O'Neil also urged anyone who hasn't yet received their booster to get it as soon as possible.
