North Wexford s over 85s were out and about for a very special reason last week as they received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
Local doctors described a very positive response from the first cohort of people, and three patients at the Palms Surgery spoke to this newspaper after getting their vaccinations.
Phil Clancy has been married to Desmond for 61 years, and she said that getting the vaccine went very smoothly for them both. It was all very good and the word good just sums it all up. We were very carefully minded going in and the staff were cheerful, I had a pleasant chat with the doctor but getting the injection I didn t feel anything at all. We had to sit down for a while afterwards just in case but everyone was the same. I didn t feel anything at all for the whole day but I was expecting I might be feeling bad, but the next day I had a very slight headache and my husband had no side effects at all. If you have been unwell recently, that need not keep you away
