It says the measure will increase efficiency at vaccine centres
People who repeatedly cancel their vaccine appointment will no longer be offered a dose from today, under new HSE plans.
The health authority has begun implementing the policy for those who refuse 3 appointments.
It says the measure will increase efficiency at vaccine centres and ensure everyone who wants a jab gets one as soon as possible.
Consultant in infectious diseases, Dr Eoghan De Barra, believes it's a pragmatic approach:
Anyone who wants a further appointment will need to contact HSE-Live and ask to be reinstated.
Consultant in Infectious Diseases, Dr. Eoghan DeBarra, says it's an important step:
The government failed to reach its end-of-June vaccination target.
It was aiming for 82 per cent of the adult population to receive their first Covid-19 dose by yesterday.
But HSE chief executive Paul Reid said yesterday morning only 67 per cent of adults had got their first jab.
44 per cent had got two vaccines.
