Irish Examiner view: Vaccines offer light at the end of tunnel

Government has signed off on a deal worth €91m for GPs and pharmacists to administer the AstraZeneca vaccine to roughly 1m people.

It is impossible to know when we might reach the point where we have to decide whether our vaccination glass is half-full or half-empty. 

Nevertheless, it seems underwhelming that at this stage only 94,000 people have received the first of two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. That is fewer than 2% of this republic’s population.
