Biscuits and homegrown vegetables are some of the gifts that grateful patients have brought to Cork’s Páirc Uí Chaoimh Covid-19 vaccine centre as a token of their deep thanks for their treatment there.

Approximately 2,000 people are vaccinated at Páirc Uí Chaoimh every day, with 30 new appointments every five minutes.
