Professor Brian MacCraith:

At least 15 such mass vaccination centres are under consideration by the team in the HSE at the moment. The exact details on how many staff will be required at vaccination centres is still being worked through. The current focus is on being ready for the initial roll out of the top two cohorts in the provisional priority sequencing. These figures will be developed in time, for example, as has happened in large-scale testing centres, and much learning is coming from that.
