Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Update

Mr. David Walsh:

I will answer those questions in sequence and I might ask Mr. Thompson to help me with some of them. The critical functionality, not only for mass vaccination centres but for the broader staff vaccination process, is to finalise the online portal so people can go on and register on the system, giving the relevant details required for the process. Second, the system will then schedule someone for a vaccination once they have been registered appropriately, and then, third, schedule them for a second vaccination because we are still dealing with multi-dose vaccines. The same will apply for mass vaccination centres or more local centres, when they are open.

In terms of training, and I will seek clarification on this, the last figure I saw was that in excess of 5,000 people have completed the top-up modules in regard to the Pfizer vaccine vaccinator training.
