The European Centre for Disease Control and the European Medicines Agency's Covid-19 task force has concluded that it is too early to consider using a fourth dose of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines in the general population

However, both agencies have agreed that a fourth dose can be given to adults 80 years of age and above, after reviewing data on the higher risk of severe Covid-19 in this age group and the protection provided by a fourth dose.

It also recommended a second booster for those aged 12 and older who are immunocompromised and children aged five to 11 who are immunocompromised should complete an extended primary course, which is a total of three vaccine doses. — Department of Health April 6, 2022 In a later statement, Mr Donnelly also confirmed that he had asked health officials to consider who else might need another booster dose.

"I have asked the NIAC to continue to actively examine the evidence regarding the likely benefit of a second booster to other groups, vaccine choice and interval, in order to make further recommendations in this regard."
