Catherine Gerety has become the first person in a Longford nursing home to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Catherine’s vaccine was the first Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine to be administered by vaccinators at Thomond Lodge Nursing Home, Ballymahon, Co Longford on Wednesday, January 13.
Catherine said, “I feel privileged to have been given the vaccine. I would ask everybody to please follow guidelines so that I can go home and see my family very soon. I have kept in touch on zoom and with many telephone calls. I would like to thank all of the staff who cared for us all. Even when things got hard, they always supported us.”
