Early last month, it emerged that all residents aged 70 and over in Sneem received a first vaccine dose after an unexpectedly large supply of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine.

The Sneem Health Centre has around 240 patients aged 70 and over. On 19 February, the centre received 30 vials of the Moderna vaccine from the HSE. Noel O’Sullivan, an organiser with the Sneem Men’s Shed, was one of those who got his second vaccine dose last weekend. “It’s the biggest crowed we had since last March,” he said. “They’re socialising – and social distancing – only without the pints. It’s brilliant for the town.”

Ppl need to start researching bionanotechnology nanotechnology and realise what these ppl are really up to.. nano particles containing man-made viruses which are released into the atmosphere and inhaled by humans, this is real not a lie

Think they got all of Bandon, Co. Cork's. Two of Bandon's practices unable to vaccinate over 80s even due to lack of vaccine delivery to them. So bad one posted an open letter on Facebook this week. The second practice with problems is the one I am with Brooklane Medical. Help!!!

Great for that village but what about the rest of the counties still waiting. Vaccine rollout is very flawed
