Meanwhile, NI Direct have simple steps that you can follow for how you can book your booster vaccine.

If you are aged 40 or over and it’s been at least three months since your second dose, you can now book your booster, or get it at a Health Trust hub or a participating community pharmacy. (Links to how to book your vaccine can be found below).

In addition, Health Trust vaccination hubs are now open for walk-in boosters for anyone aged 30 and over who is at least three months from their second vaccine dose. The online booking platform will be updated soon to allow for bookings also.

All adult age groups will be worked through in a phased way, just as in the original vaccination programme earlier this year. So it's important to note that eligibility will change from week to week.

You can book your vaccine at this link : Book a vaccination (Note: If you not in the eligible age bracket, it may not be possible to book just yet).
