Vaccine diplomacy

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.
