Given the year that is in it, when people are conscious of health and taking steps to prevent getting any infections, including the flu, many people were of the view that this year they would get the vaccine. Dr. Henry is now telling those people, however, that there are not sufficient doses of the vaccine to allow people outside the at-risk groups to get it. Is there a question now about the sufficiency of the orders submitted earlier in the year by the HSE? I refer to ordering just 1.4 million doses of the vaccine.
