Irish Olympians To Receive Vaccine

OLYMPICS

Ireland’s Olympic athletes are to be vaccinated ahead of the Tokyo games.

Pfizer has offered its vaccine to the athletes and their support teams.

In a further boost to the vaccine rollout programme, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine has started to be administered to the public for the first time.

Homeless people in Dublin have now started receiving it and it’s hoped up to 700 doses will be administered to this group by the end of next week.

Dr Austin O’Carroll from the HSE says take up has been good.
