Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, has accepted new recommendations from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee regarding Ireland's Covid vaccination programme.
The new recommendations will see people aged over 65 being offered a third booster dose of the Covid vaccine.
NIAC has also recommended that a second booster dose be offered to people aged between 50 and 64 and to people in the 12-49 age group who have underlying medical conditions or who are residents of long term care facilities.
