HSE: No concern over flu vaccine amid shortage fears

The delivery of flu vaccines to GPs started on September 17, the HSE said.

All GPs across Ireland will receive "at least" the same number of doses of the flu vaccine as last year, the HSE says, amid fears of a delay or shortage of the vaccine.

Concerns have been raised over delays to the arrival of the vaccine, which has been identified as an important weapon in the fight against Covid-19. Medics are hoping for a milder flu season to alleviate the burden on the health system.
