Pharmacy Covid-19 vaccinations to start in April

The Irish Pharmacy Union has called for all pharmacy staff to be vaccinated ahead of the rollout of vaccines in pharmacies in the coming weeks.

People will be able to get Covid-19 vaccinations in local pharmacies from early April, according to the Irish Pharmacy Union.

IPU secretary general Darragh O’Loughlin said the move will bring relief to people who live far from the mass vaccination centres as the union estimates half the population live less than 1km from their closest pharmacy.
