Under-30s may get vaccinated before those under 50 in new plan being considered to slow Covid-19 – The Irish Times

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has asked officials to examine the possibility of revising the order of age cohorts scheduled to receive the vaccine so that younger people in the 18-30 age group would get their shots before those aged under 50, once those in their 60s are vaccinated.
