People shouted in the High Court public gallery when a judge set a date at the end of January next year for a pre-trial issue in proceedings concerning the administration of Covid-19 vaccines to children.

The court has been asked to make orders preventing the HSE and the State from handing out Covid-19 vaccines or booster shots to children aged between five and 11 years of age until full information about any alleged risks have been given to the public.
