The resumption of the vaccination programme at a Limerick disability centre has left residents looking to a brighter future and planning summer trips.

Vaccinations started on March 8 for people in group 4 of the rollout priority list – those aged 16 to 69 who are at very high risk – but this was paused last week due to concerns around the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
