Northern Ireland's latest vaccination round began this week ahead of any potential Covid wave over the summer months
People who are eligible are being urged to take up the offer of a further coronavirus booster this Spring.
Dr Joanne McClean, Director of Public Health at the PHA, said: “Covid-19 is more serious in older people and in people with certain underlying health conditions, for these reasons they are being offered a spring booster of Covid-19 vaccine. I would urge everyone who falls into an eligible group to take up the offer of free vaccination when available.”
Housebound patients will be identified by GP’s and the Trust District Nursing teams will administer vaccinations.
