It is hoped that as many as 360 vaccines per hour can be administered at a dedicated vaccination clinic for the over-85s, which will be established in Cork City in the coming weeks.

The vaccination clinic for over-85s will operate on Saturdays for 12 weeks at the Munster Technological University (MTU) campus in Bishopstown in the west of Cork City. It is due to be operational on Saturday, February 27.
