Booster Vaccines for 12 to 15 year olds at Ballybrit Vaccination Centre

Booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine are now available for those eligible aged 12 years and over at Ballybrit Vaccination Centre by booking their own appointment in advance or by coming to a walk-in clinic.

Walk-in clinics for those aged 12 and older are taking place on:

• Saturday 12 March - 8.30am to 5pm
• Monday 14 March – 8am to 5pm

Advice for parents/guardians of 12 to 15 year olds

• 12 to 15 year olds must attend their booster appointment with a parent or legal guardian who will need to give consent.
• After the first round of COVID-19 vaccination 12 to 15 year olds need to wait 6 months (at least 179 days) to get a booster dose.
• If a 12 to 15 year old had COVID-19 since their vaccination, they should get their booster dose at least 6 months after their positive test result or when symptoms started.

What to bring to the Vaccination Centre

A form of identification with the child’s date of birth on it. This can be their passport or birth certificate.

If these are not available, any identification like a Public Services Card or school ID would be helpful.

If the child does not have any identification, the parent/guardian who brings them to their appointment can confirm their identity and their age.

Book a booster appointment

In addition to the walk-in clinics, people aged 12 and older who are eligible for a booster vaccine can book an appointment at a time that suits them by going to hse.ie/book. The online booking page is updated regularly to include additional dates and times and you can book an appointment up to five days in advance.
