Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Public Health Measures: Update from Health Service Executive

Mr. Damien McCallion:

I will come in there. With regard to GPs, it is, as Mr. Reid said, based on demand and then there is a principle of equity. There are some practical issues with the vaccines in terms of numbers that must be given in that there is a minimum. In some instances that results in some of the smaller practices perhaps getting a slightly larger number and hence being able to do a larger number of patients. However, it is very much balanced on demand and then the principle of equity across the distribution to GPs and that model will continue into the mass vaccination centres as well.
