Soon enough everyone will be eligible to register for their vaccine for free here in Ireland; it’s a key part of our recovery as we emerge from the worst of the pandemic, but this isn’t the case the world over.

Meanwhile, it appears that the G7 leaders are to issue a declaration in an effort to ensure that the devastation caused by this pandemic won’t be repeated in future, with plans for a 100 day pandemic response manual and a global early warning system.
