Over 50s to be offered COVID-19 booster and flu jab this autumn

Wed, 20 Jul 2022

All Island residents aged 50 and over, along with individuals in further at-risk groups, will be among those offered a COVID-19 booster and a seasonal flu jab this autumn.

The booster announcement follows on from the interim advice from the UK’s Joint Commission on Vaccination and Immunisation in May.

This year the flu vaccination rollout will again be extended to all adults aged 50 and over, pre-school and primary school children and those in secondary school years 7-9, as well as those in clinical at-risk groups.
