Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update

Dr. Colm Henry:

About 130,000 healthcare workers have received a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. We have performed about 90,000 of those in respect of those in cohort 4, which comprises a very high-risk group with a variety of medical conditions between community vaccination teams and hospitals. We are due to begin with GPs shortly. Not all of the 90,000 received the AstraZeneca vaccine. Some received the mRNA vaccine before the AstraZeneca vaccine was advised for those in cohort 4.
