IRISH OLYMPIC ATHLETES won’t be prioritised for Covid-19 vaccinations ahead of this summer’s Tokyo Games, says the Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers.
With the rescheduled Games going ahead as planned in July as of now questions have been raised in recent days the International Olympic Committee [IOC] has said participants are encouraged to get vaccinated before going to Japan, though it will not be mandatory.
