Minister Simon Coveney says the Covid-19 vaccine booster campaign will not be confined to over 60s.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said he expects a decision in the coming weeks from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (Niac) about extending the booster campaign to younger cohorts.

Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast, Mr Coveney said that he believed booster vaccines had a role to play in bringing down case numbers.
