Staff Covid-19 vaccinations are underway at South Tipperary General Hospital in Clonmel.
Workers there have begun receiving their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab earlier today, as part of the ongoing rollout of the vaccine in the country’s hospitals.

Four local health facilities are to benefit from a Christmas fundraiser being led by the Tipperary senior hurlers.
The ‘Christmas 3 Charity Appeal’ is seeking to raise 3,000 euro each for South Tipp General Hospital in Clonmel, Nenagh General Hospital, Thurles Community Hospital and Cluain Arann in Tipp Town.
The hurlers are urging people to join them on December 30th by walking, running or cycling three kilometres in their Tipperary colours.
Senior hurling captain Séamie Callanan has been speaking on
Drivetime with Owen Lonergan about the event:
“We’ll be kicking it off in our local areas at around 11am on the 30th. And we’re encouraging people to get out in their Tipp colours and do their bit of exercise. And if they want to send in pictures, they can tag our social media accounts and we’ll get the images out that way.
