Dr. Colm Henry:

I thank Deputy Burke. To clarify one point of the Deputy's question, any inference of clotting in a process of hitting a blood vessel is completely unrelated to the rare clotting that has already been reported with the AstraZeneca vaccine. The vaccines we give come from multi-dose vials and are intramuscular injections. Our vaccinators are trained. They are all healthcare professionals who are trained in the administration of intramuscular injection and how to give it appropriately, correctly and safely. I will ask Dr. Lucy Jessop to comment on the Deputy's question.
