The JCVI have recommended a “third primary dose” of COVID-19 vaccination for immunocompromised patients including liver transplant recipients. This is NOT a booster dose and JCVI will define arrangements for boosters at a later stage.
Transplant patients who were administered both doses of COVID-19 vaccination pre-transplant DO NOT require a third dose.
Patients may use the following link to book a vaccination appointment – https://vaccinations.covid-19.hscni.net/booking
The Liver Unit secretaries are currently issuing letters of eligibility for liver transplant recipients and you should expect to receive these in the post in the coming days. If you secure an appointment for vaccination but are not in receipt of an eligibility letter by the time of your appointment, please contact the Liver Unit secretaries. It may be best to select a vaccination date in at least a week’s time to allow time for your eligibility letter to arrive by post.
Vaccination Centres offered include the 7 Towers Leisure Centre Ballymena, SWAH Enniskillen, Altnagelvin Hospital and Tyrone & Fermanagh Hospital in Omagh. The RVH Vaccination Centre is not offered.

Today, September 20th is the first day of Organ Donation Week in N Ireland. Organ Donation Week is one of the most important events in our yearly calendar because it provides us, and many others, with a window of opportunity to remind everyone of the urgent need for organ donations. It is only with the support of organ donors and their families that we can set out to help others. Help us to encourage family discussion on the importance of organ donations, we urge you to “have that wee chat” ❤
Lambeg Golf Club President Gary McDonald and Captain Bobby Meehan present RVH Liver Support Group member Arthur Goan with a cheque for £1,850 at the Club’s recent President’s Day. The magnificent amount was raised through a very well supported charity tournament, and our thanks go to all the members of the Club for their generosity. The donation will assist us in our ongoing support of people across Northern Ireland affected by liver disease.
