Hi @LinkedInHelp @LinkedIn I have tried through website and XDM today to get assistance. Apart from an automated ask for my email (which I gave) nothing. As a longstanding member and premium pay holder I can only say this is the worst bar none customer service.

We welcome the reintroduction of the Laura Brennan HPV Catch-Up Programme. This life-saving vaccine prevents HPV-related cancers in both men and women. We urge all students who missed it to get vaccinated. As Laura said, “This vaccine saves lives. It could have saved mine”.
This catch-up programme is designed to offer a further vaccination opportunity to young people, both male and female, who may have missed earlier opportunities to receive the HPV vaccine. gov.ie/en/department-of-heal…

If you or your family feel unwell, consider all healthcare options so you can get the right care, from the right place.
Speaking about the week that is traditionally the week of highest demand for health services, HSE CEO @BernardGloster said “The range of services available are fully open and operational. We have invested in extra GP hours both in surgery and Out of Hours services, all of our Primary Care Centres are open and many extra sources of advice and support are available from community-based nursing and allied health professionals. However, even with a full range of services available, it is expected people will experience waiting times for care.”
If you are unwell for any reason this holiday season please choose the ‘right door’ for help - a message from @HSELive and Minister @CarrollJennifer Thank You Stay Safe
