#OurHealthService: Florence and Nancy delighted to get vaccine
Two Dublin ladies currently in a social pod together were among the first people to receive the COVID 19 vaccine last week. Florence O’Reilly, 87 from Cabra, Dublin and Nancy Keogh, 92 from Stoneybatter, received the vaccine at their residence in the Navan Rd Community Nursing Home.
Announcing after receiving the vaccine that “injections never bothered me,” Nancy said “its good for you to get the vaccine. Anything that minds your health is good to get.”
