Reader Q&A: What do you want to know about the Covid vaccine booster rollout?

Certain cohorts are being prioritised to receive their booster jabs at the moment.

THE HSE’S COVID-19 vaccine booster rollout has been ongoing for several weeks – with boosters approved for all adults last week

However, mRNA vaccine boosters are currently being prioritised for certain groups including pregnant women and people aged in their 60s.

People who received a Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca Covid vaccine need to wait at least five months from their second dose before they can receive a booster jab.

People who received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine have to wait an interval of at least three months.
