The GHA is inviting a small number of immunocompromised patients to receive a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. These individuals were identified by their doctors in the autumn as having the ability to benefit from a third primary dose of the vaccine before a booster dose.
The GHA Director General, Dr Patrick Geoghegan, says he is “saddened and disappointed” by recent acts of aggression directed towards GHA staff. The Mid Town COVID-19 testing facility, Elderly Residential Services and Accident and Emergency have all reported multiple incidents of verbal abuse and threatening behaviour by members of the public in recent weeks. The GHA says it will continue to enforce its zero tolerance policy towards “such repugnant acts.”
