More than half of the housebound people in the country who require a Covid-19 vaccine have received their first dose, with 500 now fully vaccinated, the Dáil has been told.

Junior Health Minister Mary Butler told the Dáil that the number of ambulances involved in the effort had doubled from 10 to 20 after concerns were raised at the speed of these vaccinations.
