Fermanagh man with genetic disorder to take legal action in bid to be fast-tracked for Covid-19 vaccine


A Co Fermanagh man with a rare genetic disorder is set to take legal action in a bid to be fast-tracked for a Covid-19 vaccine.
Lawyers for Lee Martin, 36, claim he is facing discrimination due to a vaccination priority scheme which has left him fearing he will contract the virus and die.
Proceedings are being planned against the Department of Health in a challenge to the lawfulness of the phased plan.
Mr Martin, from Enniskillen, is one of less than 100 people worldwide diagnosed with diploid triploid mosaicism (DSM).
His condition, which occurs when someone has two different types of cells with different numbers of chromosomes, means he requires 24-hour care.
