Irish athletes to be vaccinated ahead of Olympics

.

It has been clarified that the vaccinations will be supplementary to the existing allocations that Ireland is administering, and will not negatively impact the vaccinations that are being administered around the country already. Speaking today, Olympic Federation of Ireland President, Sarah Keane said: "I would like to thank the IOC and IPC on behalf of Team Ireland for this very significant breakthrough. It provides the athletes and support staff who work so hard to represent us internationally with the appropriate level of care in advance of the Games."

About time, and no more for it to be effective before games.

Terrible waste of vaccines on these people. Much more deserving of them. People dying by the minute in India and this bollox is going on all because some idiot wants to realise their life's dream.

Are athletes from all countries being vaccinated or just the wealthier ones?

Super healthy athletes getting the vaccination before people with under laying conditions

Great news👏👏👏
