Some people may feel left out with the changes in the priority roll-out for vaccination, the chairperson of the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) has said.
Professor Karina Butler said that if someone is being pushed up the list, others are being pushed down. The NIAC tried to be fair to everyone, she added.
Changes have been made to the vaccination groups, with higher priority for those with underlying medical conditions that put them at risk if they catch Covid-19.
After the over 70s are vaccinated, those aged 16 to 69 years at very high risk of disease or death will be immunised. They will be followed by those aged 65 to 69 years at high risk.
