Roscommon Galway TD calls for Minister to explain missing flu vaccinations

There are calls for the Health Minister to go before the Dáil to explain how 600,000 doses of the flu jab have gone missing.

The HSE has stopped distribution of the vaccine to find out what happened, after a letter was sent to doctors and pharmacists saying only 700,000 of the 1.3 million jabs have been administered, according to the Irish Independent.

Roscommon-Galway TD Denis Naughten says the situation needs to be clarified as a lot of people need the flu jab to get through the winter.
