Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update
Annie Hoey (Labour) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Shortall spoke about pregnancy and there is the concern of the risk of stillbirths from Covid-19 infection. The UK has recommended that pregnant women should get either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine on the basis of on their age and clinical risk. Forgive me if this question has already been answered - I was attending a media committee meeting and I came in at the end of Deputy Shortall's questions on the guidance for Irish women - but is there any prospect of the vaccine roll-out being re-examined to recognise the vulnerability of pregnant women?
