Midwest Health Officials Warns Of Rise In Multiple Viruses This Winter

Midwest Health officials are warning people in Clare about a rise in multiple viruses this winter. The HSE is urging every eligible person to get vaccinated against flu and COVID-19 urgently amid concern over an expected imminent rise in winter viruses. Only 10% of people who are immunocompromised have had their COVID-19 vaccine this winter while under 12% of HSE employed health care workers have availed of the autumn booster. Director of Public Health HSE Midwest, Dr Mai Mannix, says the health organisation want to be better prepared than ever this winter.
