Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update

Mr. Damien McCallion:

Essentially, as Dr. Henry said, the National Ambulance Service said it will go out to people so, obviously, it is a slow enough process in the sense that it is going all over the country to rural areas. Approximately 1,600 people have been vaccinated through this process and we estimate the referrals have slowed down. There are very few left, if any. We are down to approximately 300 people remaining, who are all being scheduled and will probably all be completed over the next three weeks or so. The programme is, therefore, fairly well advanced. Much has been done and the second doses have actually commenced already. Somewhere in the region of approximately 200 to 300 people have already started their dose 2 as well.
