In the darkest hour of our fight against Covid-19, there were glimmers of hope in Clare over the past 24 hours.
On Wednesday, the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine was administered to a number of frontline staff at Ennis General Hospital.
By the end of the week, it’s estimated that around 1,500 staff in the UL Hospitals Group will have received the jab.
While, this morning, the first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in a Clare nursing home.
The HSE has confirmed that the jab was offered to 22 residents and 49 staff at Regina House Nursing Home, Kilrush, today.
On Thursday’s Morning Focus, Gavin Grace spoke to Sarah Watkins, advanced nurse practitioner in Acute Medicine at Ennis Hospital who was among the first to receive the vaccine in the hospital and to 87 year-old Sheila Robertson, the first nursing home resident in Clare to be vaccinated.
