Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan has urged people to get booster shots against Covid, saying there are real and legitimate concerns about the threat posed by the Omicron variant.
The full scientific analysis of Omicron’s effects on vaccines, disease severity or transmissibility will not be known for a week or two, he said.
But he said the core message should stay the same that we all have to try to do this reinforcement, it seems to be more protective.
A plan for an updated Covid-19 recall program will be released this week to guarantee 1.5 million people a third jab before Christmas.
More than 1.2 million doses of booster vaccines have been administered to date, according to the latest figures.
