The HSE is advising that Covid vaccinations for children aged six months to 11 years will continued to be rolled out in Cavan-Monaghan.

The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) strongly recommends vaccinations for children who have an underlying illness or live with someone who is at risk of severe illness if they get Covid-19.

It says the benefits of the vaccine for this group outweighs the risks.

The HSE highlighted that children who fall into any of these categories will need two doses of the vaccine for the best possible protection against the virus and will get their second dose eight weeks after the first dose.
