Mr. Damien McCallion:

There are two different aspects to this issue. Public health advice is what guides the roll out of the vaccination programme for adults and children. We can provide the Deputy with more detail from our public health people regarding how that programme was designed. What I was summarising for the Deputy earlier was that we have enough vaccine for 1.4 million adults and just over 500,000 children. That is the total capacity available and that is based on prioritisation from a public health perspective.

It is what guides the public vaccination programme for the flu season and is particularly targeted at groups who are at risk if they are hospitalised. It totally aligns with what the Deputy is describing.
