The HSE has told GP practices in Killarney that they will not now receive Covid-19 vaccine doses for their over-70s patients, which were expected to arrive next week. 

Supplies to vaccinate that age cohort were scheduled to arrive in surgeries across Kerry next week. However, GPs were informed by the HSE on Wednesday that the expected delivery – mainly of the Pfizer vaccine – will not take place.
