The move to an age-based system for the Covid-19 vaccination programme will “ultimately deliver for the greater good for everybody”, the head of the HSE has said.

Paul Reid welcomed the changes to the programme announced by the Government earlier this week, saying age is a “major risk” for severe illness with the virus.
