Doctors in some hospitals are worried they have been overlooked for Covid-19 vaccinations in hospitals, during the initial phases of the roll-out, in favour of administrative and management staff.
It comes as internal HSE data showed a hospital in Cork vaccinated six times more management and background staff than doctors in the first week of the vaccine roll-out.
Data seen by the Sunday Independent shows how many people were vaccinated in hospitals up to last Monday and highlights different approaches taken at each facility.
Some hospitals, such as St James s in Dublin, put an initial focus on vaccinating patients. Meanwhile, others primarily vaccinated staff or a mixture of patients and employees in the first days of the vaccination programme.
