Covid-19-Vaccine

COVID-19 Vaccine

Fortune’s Pharmacy continues to provide a COVID-19 Vaccination Service as part of Ireland’s response to the pandemic.

  • Autumn Booster 2023

    The Autumn booster will be offered to clients aged 50 years and over, clients aged 5 to 49 years with immunocompromise associated with a suboptimal response to the vaccine, and those aged 5 to 49 years with medical conditions associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation, severe disease, or death.  We will also be offering an Autumn booster to health and care workers.  If you are aged between 18 and 49 we may be able to vaccinate you following a discussion of your reasons with one of our pharmacists.

  • First Booster

    The first booster is for all clients aged 12 years and over who have only had their primary course of vaccine.  For most clients this will mean that they have only had two doses of vaccine so far.  Clients who received a Janssen vaccine will only have had one dose.  It will be at least four months since the last dose of vaccine.  Clients who are pregnant are eligible from week 16 or pregnancy onward.

  • Primary Course

    We provide a primary course of vaccination to those aged 12 years and over who have never received a COVID-19 vaccine.  This requires two doses of vaccine either 4 or 8 weeks apart depending on age.
