The HSE’s chief clinical officer Dr Colm Henry has revealed that it is hoped to vaccinate 10,000 people aged 16-64 with chronic conditions in the coming week.

Dr Henry told RTÉ radio’s News at One that the absence of a National Diseases Registry in Ireland made it difficult to identify those most at risk in this cohort.
