Dr. Colm Henry:

I can only repeat my answers, which are based on all the public health advice regarding how we can best use and direct the resources and vaccines we get in respect of at-risk groups. I am aware of the practices of private companies and other facilities, but this is a HSE exercise based on a population vaccination for influenza. This year, we have added an additional stock of vaccine for 2- to 12-year-olds to increase protection for the overall population, including children.
