Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update

Mr. Damien McCallion:

There are two aspects to those questions. On the supply side, we are down under 800,000 for available vaccines. There were changes in the past week so I can reflect that. Last week alone, of the projected deliveries for the next four weeks for the four vaccines, we have 12 changes in either dates of delivery or volumes. The Deputy is aware of the AstraZeneca change, including its usage, and the Deputy also referred to Janssen's decision last week. We have additional vaccine from Pfizer but we also have changes from AstraZeneca in the past 48 hours that will reduce our capacity in the coming weeks as well.
