People aged 50-59 can avail of an extra covid jab from today.
The national coronavirus booster vaccine campaign is rolling into the next phase today.
People aged 50 - 59 can now avail of an additional covid jab.
To date, only those aged 60 and over, anyone aged 16 and over who has an underlying condition were eligible, and people living in long-term care were eligible for a booster.
However, at least five months - or 152 to be exact - must have passed before you can receive the additional vaccine.
If you got the single-dose Janssen vaccine, you only have to wait three months.
Booster jabs are being administered at the HSE's mass vaccination centres in each county, by GPs and at certain pharmacies.
All the details on participating pharmacies can be found on the HSE's database here.
Walk-in clinics are also available for certain cohorts at the mass vaccination centres - but opening times are subject to change.
Here's the latest on walk-in clinics available in the midlands over the coming week...
