An Westmeath immunologist is welcoming the recommendation from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee.
An immunologist says it is good news that children from 12 to 15 are being offered Covid vaccine boosters.
Minister Stephen Donnelly has today accepted a recommendation from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee.
Children in this group can take the additional dose six months after they've either recovered from the disease or gotten their second jab.
Professor of Experimental Immunology at Trinity College, and Mullingar's Kingston Mills, says it is a great way to boost immunity:
