I know several people who are double vaccinated since last summer and also picked up Omicron around Xmas. They all said they have no intention of getting the booster when they become eligible in 3 months. They have strong protection with a hybrid immunity (vaccine + natural) but I think some might reconsider a booster as we enter Winter 2022. Hard to say.

People will have no great issue with a COVID/flu jab being available annually but it certainly won't be these versions of them.

Quick query re second booster jabs.

From talking to other people, I am pretty sure I had a mild dose of COVID just after St Patrick's Day.

Not 100% certain as antigen tests are notoriously fiddly and not totally reliable and the two I took at the time came back negative.

While HSE says you should wait four months for a second booster it says nothing about my sort of case on their website.

Anyone had a similar experience or got any advice?

Thanks in advance for your help

I’m not giving you individual medical advice but in general NIAC recommend that if someone (who is eligible for a 2nd booster) had a Covid infection since their first booster, they should wait 6 months after the infection before getting 2nd booster . That can be shortened to 4months by HSE for operational reasons.
