Young people need to be vaccinated in autumn, health expert says

3,600 vulnerable people will receive a Covid-19 jab in a vaccination centre in Munster Technological University, Cork over the weekend.

A health expert thinks young people here need to be vaccinated in the autumn due to the transmissibility of the UK variant.

Trinity College Dublin Professor Kingston Mills says most cases of Covid-19 are in the 19-24 year-old age group, followed by 14-19 year-olds.
