A Cork mother has claimed her teenage son missed out on his Covid vaccine appointment after the HSE vaccine helpline misadvised them about the necessary identification documents to enter the centre.

Ellen Morgan from Youghal, Co Cork, said “it is extremely frustrating” that her son did not receive his Covid vaccine appointment on Tuesday morning at Páirc Uí Chaoimh and is speaking out to warn other members of the public.
