Council calls for independent review into Dublin homeless charity to be concluded and published thejournal.ie - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from thejournal.ie Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
“The plan was to vaccinate Dublin Fire Brigade members over a three-week period, with three days in each week set aside. That would be nine days of vaccinations with 120 paramedics each day getting their shots.
“But after the second day we were told there was a shortage of vaccines and they were being diverted to nursing homes. That’s fair enough but, despite seeking clarity from Paul Reid of the HSE on January 20 and 27, we have heard nothing. We are being kept in the dark.”
There are 1,100 fire services personnel but only 240 have received their first vaccination. Up to 80 DFB paramedics are reported to be unable to work due to Covid or being a close contact of an infected person.
