Vaccine rollout getting closer

The Taoiseach says preparations are proceeding 'at pace' for the rollout of a Covid 19 vaccine here.

It’s after the UK became the first country to approve the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine for widespread use. The first vaccinations will take place in Britain next week with elderly people being prioritised. But Ireland will have to wait a few weeks longer as we have to await approval from the European Medicines Agency. Micheal Martin says preparations are already underway for storing the vaccine.
