The Health Service Executive (HSE) has stated that its advice is that people over 70 years of age, should get the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines, rather than the AstraZeneca vaccine. The AstraZeneca vaccine will now be reserved for younger people. GP’s had been expected to begin vaccinating older people this month, starting with those aged over 85 years.
Meanwhile, regulators in Switzerland have stated that data submitted by AstraZeneca is not sufficient for them to authorise the use of the company’s Covid-19 product.
Total global cases up to 5.30pm this evening, are now standing at well over 104 million confirmed cases, with global deaths at almost 2.26 million.
