First Louth nursing home residents get vaccine
As the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination in Louth nursing homes got under way last week, 85-year-old John Monaghan, from Hunterstown Ardee, was the first person in a Louth nursing home receive the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. 'I feel very privileged to be the first person in St Joseph's Hospital to receive the vaccine,' said John. 'Like everyone else I have been waiting for the vaccine. It's a great relief that the vaccine is eventually here and it provides hope for us all, especially the vulnerable, that we will be safe from Covid-19 and that our lives will return to normal.'
