Reading now: 605
People aged 16 and over will be offered a vaccine by the end of September, the Cabinet has heard. The Government is also examining the possibility of vaccinating those aged 12 to 15 during the autumn.
This is being considered by the National Immunisation Advisory Committee. A decision was also taken by Government to change the rules around PCR tests for children entering the State.
The requirement will not apply to children aged under 12, rather than the previous situation, where all children aged over seven years needed this test when returning to the country.
Government figures are this evening planning on the basis that vaccinated people arriving here from Britain from Monday next won't have to self-quarantine.
