Question for those from the 6 counties here ... am I alone in being confused ref. when and where to get a booster jab?  I hear on the news its now available to 40+ age group, but when I read the NIdirect website, it still states 50+.  Surely the mass vaccinations centres that took over leisure centres etc. and did a fantastic job in vaccinating the masses, should be opened again to give anyone a top up who needs it.

I'm now 6 months from second jab, would kind of like to get the booster soon.

I'm not 50 yet, (month and a half ffs) booster this Sunday, I was double jabbed early doors, so bit later for me with booster.

I think you can book a pharmacy appointment, and they will be doing a big push in two weekends' time. I mean for 40+ year olds - there was a pharmacist on Radio Ulster yesterday morn talking about it. Check NI Direct for pharmacies who are taking part.
I got the booster this wk as I'm pregnant - my surgery did a big session at the home of the Armagh champs, Clann Eireann. They just called me up - they must have had spares as pregnancy doesn't really entitle you to get the booster earlier than anyone else.

My Mrs 46. Got a call from gp surgery to go over Monday for it. I'd guess you won't have to wait too long.

Apparently 40+ can now get it in the likes of boots. (Administered and free).

5,959 in the 26 counties, the highest since 10 January. And 1,846 in the 6 counties which is only marginally better.
People need to chill a bit before Xmas.

It has to be 6+ months after vaccination doesn't it??

What flavour did you get? The missus doesn't want Moderna for some reason  , which is what the pharmacies are dishing out.

The original Moderna was actually slightly better, the booster is a half dose, as far a I know.

That's interesting and it shows how dangerous covid is. I've heard of several people who've had an extremely mild/asymptomatic case of covid but several months later have had severe heart problems including one with heart failure.

Yet according to Luke O'Neill , it will last 2-3 years
