Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update
Mr. Damien McCallion:
There is no split between urban and rural. GPs are on a schedule on a two-week rota and they get their vaccines in that two-week cycle. Where one person in one area is getting the vaccine, it might be because they are in the delivery cycle in the first week and then the remainder will be picked up in the second week. To give assurance to those people, we expect to be at over 95%, with a small percentage to be completed. That is largely attributable to the Moderna issues at the start of the process. By the end of next week, essentially that small balance will also be administered.
