Today we start a national week of action called ‘The Big Boost’ where we’re making it as easy as possible to get your booster, with pop-up vaccination centres and extended opening hours.
A booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine provides a higher level of protection against severe disease or hospitalisation from the Omicron variant than the two-dose course.
Being fully vaccinated with two shots provides great protection against Delta, but boosters are the best way to fight Omicron.
If you are 18 years or older and had your second vaccination at least three months ago, get your booster as soon as you can.
