A shot in the dark

IT HAS been reported (Irish Examiner, October 7) that the Irish Medical Organisation has warned that, as a form of ongoing protest from October 31, its GPs will not collect vaccines from health boards which don’t have a courier system. It appears “the issue of transporting dangerous substances is not a new one”.
