Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Update

Mr. David Walsh:

Not currently, but there will be a mechanism to ensure that no one falls through those cracks.

I will answer the Deputy's third question in terms of prioritising within healthcare workers. There are senior occupational health and public health staff within the HSE working on an orderly prioritisation of healthcare workers based not on their grade but on their risk of exposure to Covid-19. That would apply regardless of their setting or employer, whether they are public, private or voluntary, self-employed or part of an organisation.
