People are now able to book themselves a Covid-19 booster on the HSE's vaccine portal.
The updated service was added to the HSE website today after long queues at vaccination centres across the country over the last few days.
Appointments were previously available at vaccine centres by referral or by a direct text message form the HSE, with limited hours for walk-up shots leading to chaotic scenes outside some locations as hundreds gathered with no hope of getting in the doors.
But now the HSE have opened up their online vaccine portal to allow people to book a limited amount of booster slots.
Croke Park and Swords are currently offering slots for booking in Dublin, while Enniscorthy and Limerick are also available to book if you fancy the drive.
The HSE say more centres will come onto the portal "over the next few days".
You can book an appointment if you are:
- aged 40 and older
- pregnant aged 30 or older
- a healthcare worker aged 30 or older
- aged 30 or older and have an underlying condition
To book online you need a:
- mobile phone number
- email address
- PPS number
- Eircode
