An immunology expert says mass vaccination sites may be needed for the Pfizer Bio-N-Tech Covid-19 dose.

Mullingar's Professor Kingston Mills says the HSE also needs to keep track of who's receiving it:
The number of people in hospital with Covid-19 has dropped sharply compared with last month.
There are currently 254 confirmed cases receiving treatment - 100 fewer than a recent peak at the end of October.
32 people are in ICUs with the disease - a 16 percent drop over the same period.
The Trinity College professor says a change in behaviour is needed if the trends are to continue when restrictions ease:
