The Republic of Ireland opens its coronavirus vaccine portal to its youngest cohort yet.
Children aged five to 11 can now be registered for a Covid-19 vaccine in the Republic of Ireland, the Health Service Executive has said.
The HSE's chief clinical officer told RTÉ that some high-risk children have already received a jab in hospitals. Children with underlying conditions and those who live with a vulnerable person will take priority before the programme expands to the wider cohort.That was a week earlier than Irish public health officials had planned.
HSE chief clinical officer Dr Colm Henry said he hoped that the vaccines would start being administered to children in the five to 11 age group within the next two weeks.
