Appeal for employers to facilitate workers attending vaccine appointments

The UL Hospitals Group marked a major milestone today after administering the 150,000th dose of vaccine.

Noreen Spillane, Chief Operation Officer at the UL Hospitals Group, said the positive impact of the vaccine in the region cannot be over-estimated.

Public health officials are appealing to employers to do everything they can to facilitate workers to attend their vaccination appointments.

The appeal comes as online registration for a Covid-19 vaccine will open soon for those in the 35-39 years age group.
