Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed)

Dr. Kevin Kelleher:

Our calculations indicate that approximately 1.4 million to 1.5 million will require the vaccine as per our guidance from the national immunisation advisory committee. This includes those over 65 and those under 65 who have medical conditions. We believe we will have sufficient doses for those people and to cope with the other groups such as healthcare workers. We do not believe we will have a problem vaccinating every healthcare worker if required.
