Why Should Get Covid-19 Vaccine?
COVID-19 vaccines offer protection from COVID-19. COVID-19 is a highly infectious disease that can cause serious illness, hospitalisation and even death. If you do get COVID-19 after vaccination, you should be protected from the serious illness the virus can sometimes cause.
It is up to you to decide to get your COVID-19 vaccine. But the HSE, the World Health Organization and the Department of Health strongly recommend that you do as soon as it is offered to you.
Which Covid-19 Vaccine You Will Get?
You do not get to choose which vaccine you get. The type of vaccine offered to you will be based on supply. All the vaccines we use are safe and effective. The best vaccine to get is the one you are offered.
When you should not get your COVID-19 vaccine?
Do not get your COVID-19 vaccine if yo u:
** have had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine
** currently have COVID-19 – wait until it has been 4 weeks since you first tested positive
** have symptoms of COVID-19 – self-isolate (stay in your room) and phone your GP to get tested
** have a fever (temperature of 38 degrees Celsius or above) – wait until you feel better
** are restricting your movements – wait until you have completed your period of restricted movements to get your vaccine
