HSE chief urges family members visiting hospital patients to get vaccinated

“We increasingly have more and more staff out with Covid or symptomatic close contacts. We are seeing more outbreaks and I think from my perspective we have a duty of care to staff and patients. We are quite concerned about seeing outbreaks [of Covid] emerging.

A further 2,427 cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in the State on Saturday. As of 8am on Saturday morning, there were 449 patients in hospital with the virus, including 93 in intensive care. The rising number of critical Covid-19 cases has forced University Hospital Galway to turn its cardiothoracic ICU into a Covid ICU.

However, he said he is conscious that such a move could create an increased burden on health staff in terms of having to manage checking Covid certificates.

Complete lol 😂

Hopefully there will not be a delay this time for those in their 60s as was the case for the second dose of AZ.

I've been getting flu boosters now for 15 years, with no problems. Looking forward to my Covid booster, I might get some sort of a life back if I'm more covered from Covid.

Plan to be completed next week? WTF?

Serious question if anyone knows the answer..if you don't take the booster does this effect your green certificate? I've never taken the flu jab but tbh I registered straight away for my covid-19 jab but not that pushed about the booster..not that I'd discourage anyone taking it
