The HSE is now inviting those aged 55 to 59 years in Donegal to avail of their next COVID-19 booster.
It must be at least four months since your last booster or since you tested positive for Covid-19 or had your first symptoms.
Flu and COVID-19 viruses are now circulating in our communities and as they are different viruses you will need two vaccines to be protected against both.
Getting the Flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself, your family, colleagues and our health services. To book your Flu vaccine and to check if you are one of the eligible groups please contact your GP or check with your local pharmacy. You can also check which pharmacy is delivering flu vaccines via the pharmacy finder:https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/flu/pharmacies-flu/
