Dr. Daniel Hanley weighed in on possible anaphylactic reactions by saying it seems that contributing pharmacies have a great deal of equipment on hand if necessary to handle allergic reactions, and that if people have a severe allergic reaction, he would hope the pharmacists reach out to their local doctors. Koopman pointed out that the time required in that kind of an emergency may not be an option.

John O Brien, a former Tipperary hurling star and two-time All-Ireland winner, has launched a small batch of premium blended whiskey.
O Brien, whose company Fortwilliam Spirits is supported by Enterprise Ireland, said his initial launch plans had been hit by Covid-19.
Jim Mac Irish Whiskey was originally intended for international markets but was put on hold due to the pandemic.
The grain and malt blend whiskey will now be available in Ireland just in time for Christmas.
