Booster appointments made after HSE 'error' should be honoured, says Pharmacy Union

The HSE informed pharmacies this week that they could provide Covid-19 booster vaccines to over 16s, a message that was later revealed to have been sent "in error".

The secretary general of the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) has said Covid-19 booster vaccine appointments made on Wednesday following information from the HSE, which was since reversed, should be honoured.

On Wednesday morning, pharmacies received information from the HSE that they could provide the booster vaccine for over 16s, including those who had received the one dose Janssen vaccine.
