Who will be getting vaccine?
To get your COVID-19 booster dose, you MUST be aged 12 years or older. 12 to 15 year olds must attend for their booster dose with a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian will need to give consent for their child’s vaccination. If you are unable to attend the vaccine appointment to give consent, you can contact HSElive to discuss options.
How long to wait before getting a booster COVID-19 vaccine?
After your last dose of COVID-19 vaccination, you need to wait
· 6 months (at least 182 days) if you are aged 12 to 15 years

It is IMPORTANT to remember you will NOT get your booster dose of vaccine if the minimum interval has not passed on the day of your appointment.
