Reilly demands no more flu jab errors

HEALTH Minister James Reilly has told pharmacists there must be no repeat of the systems failure that resulted in over 500 people getting the wrong flu jab.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) says it is satisfied that the error that led to the under-dosing of some patients was being dealt with.

Fears for the safety of the new flu vaccination scheme were raised after people got a child’s dose of the vaccine instead of an adult one.
