The HSE rollout of the second booster for those over the age of 65 began last Friday as health officials work to better protect those with waning immunity against Covid-19.

The new subvariant is reportedly a mixture of Omicron’s BA.1 and BA.2 which in the past caused major difficulties for the Irish health system as cases skyrocketed.
