Questions (493)

Gino Kenny

Question:

493. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Health the reason cancer patients at St. James’s Hospital were asked to attend the hospital recently for a Covid-19 booster vaccination but instead received an additional vaccination (details supplied) and were informed that they would be invited back in six months for a booster shot; the reason they received a vaccination card which showed that they had received an additional Covid-19 vaccination dose while the Covid-19 booster dose box was left unchecked; the difference between these two categories; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this has caused a level of confusion and anxiety amongst vulnerable patients; if another layer of treatment has been introduced; the reason there appears to be no information available on the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
