Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed)
Mr. Damien McCallion:
I think I can help. I was trying to come in earlier. As for the vaccine, the number we have this year is 1.4 million, which we believe is sufficient for a 90% uptake among the at-risk groups, which will include healthcare workers. We have also placed an order for the vaccine that is available for children between the ages of two and 12. I will have to confirm that number but it is in the region of 500,000 plus. We can confirm those numbers separately. As Mr. Woods said, it is part of the overall briefing.
