A number of hospitals in the south of the country have received and administered a disproportionately large number of Covid-19 vaccines, relative to their size.
The Irish Times reports that more than one-third of doses given up to last Tuesday were administered in hospitals run by the South/Southwest Hospital Group in Waterford, Cork and Kerry.
This is despite the group being only the third biggest of the seven hospital groups, by number of employees.
Figures obtained from the HSE show that the group had administered 19,840 vaccine doses by last Tuesday, and 22,000 by last Friday.
