Almost half the vaccines given in Ireland were done locally by a GP — with thousands more benefiting as of this week, a Cork GP has said.

Dr Nuala O’Connor is clinical lead for Covid-19 with the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) and a member of the High-Level Covid-19 Vaccination Taskforce.
