Taoiseach Micheál Martin has ruled out young people being bumped up the waiting list for Covid-19 vaccines as they begin to socialise more. Mr Martin said that he fully accepted that it has been an exceptionally difficult year for young people and he could understand their desire to socialise and meet other young people, which does increases the risk of spreading Covid-19. “I get the point some people are making [about young people] but we will have higher vaccine volumes coming in. “I want to pay tribute to the team at City Hall and to all those working at vaccination centres across the country. “Just to say, at European level, work is now focussing on the future also in terms of procuring vaccines for 2022/23.
