‹ Order of Business Flu jab campaign
Summary
Senator Feighan praised the HSE's flu vaccination awareness campaign and urged people, especially older people, to get the jab.
I do not normally commend the HSE, but on this occasion I wish to congratulate the executive on its awareness campaign for people, especially elderly people, to avail of the 'flu jab. A dangerous and difficult strain is out. Members were able to avail of the jab. This is something that we should articulate and pass on. It is vital for people to avail of the jab, especially elderly people - although I suppose we are all elderly to a certain extent. I believe it would help to ease the pressures on the medical services.
