Taoiseach receives first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine

The Taoiseach has received his first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

Micheál Martin got the AstraZeneca jab at the Cork City Hall vaccination centre this afternoon.

It comes after a record day on Friday - with over 52,000 doses administered.

Over 1.3 million people have now received their first dose.

Delighted to get my #CovidVaccine today from the fantastic @HSELive staff and volunteers at Cork City Hall

The vaccines are making a major difference, as we protect the most vulnerable and open up society! pic.twitter.com/30EccijGY4
