Write a commentNewry and Armagh MLA, Justin McNulty has praised the impressive effort behind the Covid19 Vaccination Programme.
Mr McNulty, who received his first vaccination at the South Lakes Leisure Centre this week explained, "The vaccination programme here has and continues to be a huge success and is a key element to the move towards a return to a more normal life again.
"This week I had my first vaccination at the South Lakes Leisure Centre in Craigavon and I was very impressed with the way in which the system was coordinated and organised. The professionalism of the staff was amazing, the teamwork, the camaraderie and the warmth of the welcome were incredibly positive. The team did all they could to ensure any of those who were nervous feel comfortable - they were just brilliant. I cannot sing their praises highly enough.
"The service at South Lakes is only one part of the roll out programme and the vaccine is also being administered in many local participating community pharmacies as well as the in local GP Practices. It’s important to check where your particular age group is being invited to attend and to register for your vaccination as soon as possible."
In conclusion Mr McNulty said, ‘This past twelve months have been difficult for us all. Families have lost loved ones, many more have been ill. We have all had our lives restricted and huge demands have been made of our healthcare workers. If by having this vaccine we can all get back to some sense of normality soon then I would encourage everyone who has the opportunity to get the vaccine to do so and to do so as soon as possible."
