Mr. Gerry O'Brien:

We have been engaging with the HSE on the recruitment of vaccinators. The Department and the high-level task force on vaccines are comfortable in terms of vaccinations through April and May and recruitment to ensure the vaccination workforce is in place thereafter is ongoing.

It is not just vaccinators; we have GPs and then, at some stage, pharmacists and others coming on board. It is therefore a very broad-ranging offering of people who can vaccinate. As for the mass vaccination clinics and the population that will be vaccinated there, the HSE is doing everything it can to recruit people. Certainly for April and May we have confidence that the numbers are there already to do that.
