People may be getting several appointments for a Covid-19 booster vaccine from multiple sources, even if they have already been vaccinated, the HSE has said.
It said that while steps have been taken to minimise this, it is inevitable this will occur but its priority is to ensure the HSE gives people maximum choices to get vaccinated.
The HSE said that people can inform it online, or by text, that they have received their Covid-19 booster elsewhere, or reject a booster appointment if they have already received a third dose.
Yesterday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that last week 180,000 appointments for booster jabs were issued, but that just 93,000 people had attended.
