People who have concerns about the forthcoming coronavirus vaccines should not be treated as anti-vaccine campaigners, the State’s deputy chief medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn has said. Dr Glynn said there would always be “a very small proportion of people who will be very resolutely anti-vaccine, and will never take a vaccine and will spread misinformation”. Dr Tony Holohan, chief medical officer, said following approval the vaccine would be rolled out “as quickly as we reasonably can”. For the rest of the population we will have to maintain a high level of compliance with public health guidance,” he said. There were six additional coronavirus-related deaths reported on Thursday, and 183 new confirmed cases, bringing the national total to 73,228.
