Covid vaccine booster doses are being made available to those aged 30 to 39 from today.
While those aged 16 to 29 who received a one dose Johnson and Johnson jab are also eligible.
In Kilkenny, a walk-in service is operating today from 8.15 to 12.30 and then from 1.30 to 7.15 this evening.
While in Carlow, the Woodford Dolmen’s walk-in clinic is open from 9am until 1pm and then from 2 to 5.
Professor of Infectious Diseases Jack Lambert says the booster campaign should be ramped up:
“Omicron is going through the community right now so people who are not vaccinated – or even people who are vaccinated but whose levels have dropped off – many of them are getting infected with Omicron.
“So Omicron is actually vaccinating people by natural infection. But I do think boosters are important and we should be ramping up boosters.
“We should have been boosting people Christmas Day, and the day after Christmas.”
