The hospital said that five or six vaccinators are working in rotation
One of Dublin s main maternity hospitals has said all eligible staff will have received their first doze of the Pfizer Biontech vaccine by this evening.
The Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital began vaccinating staff on Wednesday when it received its first delivery.
The master of the hospital, Professor Michael O Connell, said the vaccine was thawed when it was arrived and could be kept in a fridge for five days.
The clock began ticking.
Staff had been trained in the days leading up to the delivery and they were ready to go straight to work.
