Some 66 days ago, the National Ambulance Service, NAS, started to vaccinate an estimated 2,700 housebound people over the age of 70. The plan was to have all of the first doses administered by last Sunday week, namely, 11 April 2021. I am being contacted by people in their 80s and 90s who are still waiting to receive their first appointment from the NAS.
To be quite honest, when trying to find information, the HSE locally and regionally does not know what is going on. It would be easier to find out the Third Secret of Fatima. I raised the issue a month ago with the Taoiseach in the House. He committed to getting the relevant information and furnishing me with it. He does not seem to have received information from the HSE either. When will those who are to be vaccinated at home receive their appointments?
