A Belmullet GP is calling for clarity on when practices across Mayo will get Covid-19 vaccine supplies.
Dr Fergal Ruane says the uncertainty means his Belmullet practice and practices across the region can’t plan clinics, staffing levels, or set vaccine appointments.
The HSE are due to notify practices of when they will receive deliveries by tomorrow.
The North Mayo doctor revealed that the practices across the Erris region are deemed to be large, meaning his patients won’t have to travel to a vaccination centre.
