Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on the Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: National Public Health Emergency Team
Dr. Ronan Glynn:
I will look at it in a slightly different way, if that is okay. I have reiterated the following target on a number of occasions. If we can administer at least one dose to approximately 80% of the adult population by the end of June, and if the disease is under control at that point, I hope that society will be open to a far greater level than it is at this point. At that point, I hope that there will not be much need to differentiate between what vaccinated people and unvaccinated people can do. For example, there has been some suggestion that vaccinated people will be allowed to get a haircut. I hope that, if the disease remains under control, everyone will be able to go and get a haircut long before that becomes an issue, because the disease is under control.
