Are we meant to be getting COVID booster jabs?

Posting here for traffic. Have googled, but it's unclear.

Me & DH both have covid right now. I feel okayish, but DH feels awful. Are we meant to be getting booster jabs? I'm sure it's been over a year since we had one, but the NHS App doesn't work any more, so I can't check.

We are 54 & 51, with no health conditions.

Thanks

I have it at the moment and it’s bloody awful. Only had a mild case of it once before in 2020. I’m thinking about getting jabbed going forward.

I think it’s only if you’re vulnerable.

They will be available privately again in the Autumn for adults not covered by the NHS.

I currently know quite a few people with covid currently , and they are not known to each other so there must be quite a spike of people with it .
Unfortunately I have been in close contact with one of them so it's a waiting game for me.

You don't normally get offered one if you're within 6 months of catching Covid.
Our local pharmacy was doing them until recently.

If you're in Ireland, you can probably get one. My DH (71) got one at the end of May.

I thought covid jabs were a thing of the past now tbh!
