When the HSE is coming back to me on that it might also look at the issue of pharmacists. I understand flu vaccination can be availed of in the local pharmacy, but that pharmacist is not able to administer the vaccine in a person's home, for example. That is additional capacity that could provide the greater than normal ability to deliver the flu vaccine and I urge the HSE to consider that. I imagine there are other concerns but I urge the HSE to consider this also.
