Booster: a priority for pregnant women.

A booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine is to be offered to everyone in the State aged sixteen and over.
Táthar le teanndáileog den vacsaín in aghaidh covid 19 a thairiscint do gach duine sa Stát atá sé bliana déag agus os a chionn.
This decision was made on the basis of advice from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said.
Is de réir comhairle ón gCoiste Comhairleach Náisiúnta um Imdhíonadh a rinneadh an cinneadh seo, a dúirt an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly.
The Minister indicated that the Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has also accepted the recommendation.

Tabharfar tús áite do mhná atá ag iompar clainne, de réir na comhairle.
After that, the booster will be provided in descending order of age, that is, 40 to 49 and 16 to 39.
Ina ndiaidh siúd, is in ord íslitheach de réir aoise a chuirfear an teanndáileog ar fáil, mar atá, 40 go 49 agus 16 go 39.
