Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Update
Mr. David Walsh:
I will respond to those two questions. We are under significant pressure from our CEO and the Minister to achieve daily reporting as quickly as possible. Both operational staff and staff from Mr. Thompson's division are working hard to achieve that and are currently working through backlogs of data uploads.
To take members quickly through mass vaccination centres, our next targets are to finish off any residual vaccinations required in long-term care to go back to complete category 2 in the Government strategy, which is front-line healthcare workers. Given the numbers, that will be a precursor for mass vaccinations with mass vaccinations sites to follow as soon as supply allows, which I believe the Minister said is in March.
