Up to 50% of appointments are missed on some days, meaning vaccines are wasted, says a pharmacist.
Up to half of people booked for their Covid-19 booster jab fail to attend the appointments on some days, according to the Ulster Chemists' Association.
People aged from 40 to 49 are now entitled to have a booster jab as long as six months have passed since they received their second dose.Less than half of those eligible have received their booster vaccine, according to the Department of Health. "There is a mixed message that people are sitting back waiting for an invitation to come for a booster, and very often that is the case, but they should be going out and proactively trying to get it."
