Dr Bob Brown receives the Coroanvirus vaccine
A vaccination programme is expected to start at Foyle Arena in Derry next Monday, December 14.
But depending on supplies, this date could be brought forward.
Dr Bob Brown, our Director of Primary Care and Older peoples services received the COVID-19 vaccination on Tuesday morning; one of the first vaccinators to be vaccinated from the Western Trust area.
Dr Brown said: “As the Executive Director of Nursing and given my responsibility for older people’s services, I felt it was important that I received my vaccine early so that I can become a peer vaccinator to support our team who are getting ready to deliver this vital vaccine to our fantastic health and social care staff who have worked tirelessly throughout the last ten months, and also for our care home residents and staff who have also been highly impacted by this virus.
“While our thoughts continue to remain with those families who have experienced the loss of a loved one from COVID-19, I would encourage all staff to avail of the vaccine as it becomes available to them, to protect themselves, their patients and their families.”
