Concern that Longford pharmacists are being overlooked during a respiratory crisis Flaherty calls on Minister and HSE to address concerns over inclusion of local pharmacists and staff in vaccine rollout Reporter: '); '); Fianna Fáil TD for Longford Westmeath, Joe Flaherty has raised concerns about the inclusion of local pharmacists and pharmacy staff in the vaccine rollout. The Longford TD stated that he understands there is an issue with the rollout of vaccines for pharmacy staff in the four counties of Longford, Westmeath, Laois and Offaly. Deputy Flaherty commented, “It seems that pharmacists and pharmacy staff in many other health regions are now vaccinated, or the process is almost complete, but yet only a handful of those in the sector have been called locally.”
