The HSE has launched their winter vaccination programme, with the Irish public set to be offered jabs for the flu and boosters to protect them from the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
The programme got underway on Monday morning, with the rollout of the free flu vaccine to recommended groups, while those aged over 65 and all aged 12 and over with a weak immune system are invited for their next Covid vaccine.
The HSE is also reminding anyone who has not received their primary vaccine or their booster doses, or who has had Covid and has had to wait 4 months for their booster to book an appointment as soon as possible.
