The HSE Winter vaccination programme is underway in the West and North West this week with the roll out of the free flu and COVID-19 vaccines to recommended groups.

The HSE is seeing an increase in people with respiratory illnesses attending emergency departments - 538 people with flu and 282 with COVID attended its EDs this week, an increase from 312 (flu) and 144 (COVID) the previous week.
