There are 2 types of booster vaccines for COVID-19 being administered at Cobh Pharmacy:
FIRST BOOSTER:
You can book an appointment for your first booster if you are 12 years or older.
12 to 15 year olds must attend their booster appointment with a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian will need to give consent for their child's vaccination.
After your first round of COVID-19 vaccination, you need to wait:
- 3 months (at least 90 days) if you are 16 or older
- 6 months (at least 179 days) if you are aged 12 to 15
If you had COVID-19 since you were vaccinated, you should get your booster dose at least:
- 3 months after your positive test result or when symptoms started if you are 16 or older
- 6 months after your positive test result or when symptoms started if you are aged 12 to 15
If you had an additional dose because you have a weak immune system, get your booster dose at least 3 months after your additional dose.
- people aged 12 and older can get this if they have not already - people aged 65 and older and people with a weak immune system should get this
