The director-general of the HSE Paul Reid has confirmed the vaccination rollout will continue on the basis of age.

Registration for the over 50s will commence shortly, he told Newstalk Breakfast and will operate in the same way as it did for over 60s – starting with 59-year-olds, and then working down.
