Weather hampered delivery of Covid 19 jabs on Inishbiggle today Published: Monday, 15 March 2021 15:01
Islanders on Mayo’s smallest populated island, Inishbiggle, were due to receive the Covid 19 vaccine today, however, that has now been postponed until tomorrow (Tues) due to weather conditions hampering travel out to the island today.
Dr Noreen Lineen Curtis told Midwest News this afternoon that she had secured the required number of vaccines for Inishbiggle today and was disappointed that weather did not allow the air corps helicopter to travel out with them, but it will bring the vaccines out to the islanders tomorrow.
Islanders on neighbouring Clare Island were due to receive their jabs tomorrow and Wed, but that has now been pushed out to Wed and Thursday, as vaccinations will be administered on Inishbiggle tomorrow and the following two days on Clare Island.
