The Beacon Hospital in Dublin provided vaccines to teachers at a private school without considering alternative people or groups higher on the vaccination schedule, a HSE report into the matter has concluded.

On March 23, the hospital vaccinated 20 teachers at St Gerard’s School in Bray after 20 leftover AstraZeneca vaccines were at risk of going to waste.
