More than 400,000 doses of booster vaccines held by family doctors are due to go out of date over the next fortnight.
The Sunday Times reports that there’s been a fall in the expected demand for Covid 19 boosters likely because of high infection rates recently.
HSE guidelines state that a person must wait 90 days after their positive test result before they can get the third dose.
The shots can be stored for up to 6 months in high grade freezers, but once distributed to providers they must be used within 28 days.
