That is correct. The latest briefing I have from the HSE is that a large majority of those aged 85 and older will have received their first vaccination by the end of this week. There will be some who are housebound for whom individual solutions are being put in place. Some who are housebound have already been vaccinated and in some cases, I understand, GPs will be calling to houses and the National Ambulance Service will be involved, and there may be more solutions as well. What I am told this morning is that the large majority of those aged 85 and older will have received their first dose by the end of Sunday.
