Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update

Mr. Damien McCallion:

Cohort 2 - front-line healthcare workers - is substantially completed. There will be an ongoing requirement to vaccinate new front-line healthcare workers, new medical students and new placements. We have over 5,000 student placements a year. The HSE has a turnover rate of 4%. It is an equal rate in the private sector. There will be a separate ongoing process with a pathway set out for new healthcare workers to come in. The original cohort definition is now substantially complete.
