A Longford GP is encouraging people to take the booster vaccine for greater protection.
It comes as the Tanaiste believes Covid 19 will be with us forever.
Despite over 90 per cent of the population being fully vaccinated he doesn't think we're out of the woods yet.
He's warning restrictions may yet have to be brought in again.
Booster vaccines are being rolled out to the over 60s at present.
But with the further re-opening of society Longford GP Paul Truick believes it has to be expanded to all age groups.
On the streets of Longford today, there's been a mixed reaction to the reopening of entertainment activities.
