Vaccine diplomacy
about 3 years in The Irish Times
Sir, – May I offer a solution to the stand-off between the UK and the European Commission over the export of Covid-19 vaccines?
In the North, anyone who is eligible for healthcare will be vaccinated without question.
There is no discrimination against those who have crossed the Border, as many from Donegal have discovered.
I suggest the precious vials of vaccine should be sent to the UK as contracted but should be earmarked for use in Northern Ireland, solely by EU citizens.
Ursula von der Leyen and Boris Johnson could both save face and claim victory (and we would all get jabbed). – Yours, etc,
Dr JOHN DOHERTY,
