Covid-19: Immunosuppressed to be offered booster jab 'shortly'

People who are immunosuppressed in Northern Ireland will be notified shortly about receiving a third dose of the vaccine. The Department of Health told BBC News NI those classed as immunosuppressed have now been identified. 'They will be receiving a letter shortly advising them to book online to receive the third dose,' it said. 'Those identified by GPs will be given a letter advising them to receive a third dose at a community pharmacy.' Vaccine experts recommended on 1 September that those affected should be given the extra dose to give them fuller protection.
