Clare’s Fine Gael Senator wants COVID-19 vaccination centres to be used to administer the HPV vaccine.
It’s understood many HPV vaccinations have been cancelled nationwide in the last number of weeks due to staff being redeployed elsewhere in the health service because of the pandemic.
It’s led to the family of the late Ennis woman Laura Brennan calling for the HSE to prioritise a faster rollout of the jab for young girls and boys aged 12 and 13.
