The Chief Executive of the Health Service Executive has said there is an “early phenomenon” of high non-attendance for Covid-19 vaccine booster appointments.
In some centres, Paul Reid said, the figure is as high as 50%.
“Certainly we are seeing … people not coming forward for a high number of appointments made and it’s really important if you’re offered a booster appointment, that you take it up,” he told a HSE media briefing.
“We have seen some no-show rates and some centres varying from 25% to 50%.
“It’s a really important call to everybody … we are going to be dealing with significant numbers of the population and we need those appointments utilised.”
Mr Reid said the non-attendance may be “due to a sense of security among people feeling they have had two vaccines and don’t need a booster.”
The HSE has committed to 200,000 booster vaccines a week, increasing to 250,000 over time.

Yeah, the flippening is coming, wait for mandatory boosters and yearly jabs, might take the banks to do a bail-in and take people’s money. Either way, it’s not if, it’s when the herd makes the shift.
They won’t be happy until they demand boosters every month…
Yes, there are still so many people out there who will just follow these
demands like sheep.
If this trend continues will they go for COVID Omega variant, Smallpox or Marburg?
@FreedomVictoria – it depends which laboratory got the commission

Mr Reid has quite the gift for comedy.
How about non-attendance being due to a sense that they’ve made a bloody huge mistake and want to minimise further damage to their health?
Immune erosion. It’s the coming thing. Look for it in a vaccinated person near you.
