Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Dr. Colm Henry:

As I said earlier in reply to Deputy Shortall, we are in the first instance vaccinating those who are most easily identifiable. The Senator is correct that people are out there wondering whether they are on the list or whether they are eligible. We will contact patients, either through hospital networks or primary care networks, as we go through this quite complex group of patients with specific clinical criteria. That messaging is going out. We have spoken to some of the advocacy societies, including the Irish Kidney Association, Irish Cancer Society and clinical groupings. For anyone listening today and through our communications we will make it clear we will contact people either through hospital networks or through their GPs.
