The Public Health Agency is asking those with a weakened immune system to book in for their Covid-19 vaccines, warning that the virus "is still out there".
In an open letter to the public from the PHA, it's been confirmed that the spring booster vaccination programme will shortly be coming to an end."But there is still time for immunosuppressed individuals to receive their spring booster vaccination via a participating community pharmacy or at a HSC Trust-led vaccination clinic," it continued.
"Trust clinicians will have written to advise their patients of their eligibility for the spring booster. Please do take up this offer. If you haven’t heard and you think you may be eligible then you can still book a vaccination.
