Tánaiste: Vaccination of older people will 'be slower' but sped up for high-risk people under 70 and health  workers 

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said while the vaccination of older people will "be slower", the vaccine programme for high-risk people under 70 and healthcare workers would be sped up.

The overall number of Covid-19 vaccines to be administered by the end of March will not be affected by the decision to restrict those vaccines used on older people.
