Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update
Mr. Damien McCallion:
There is a figure in respect of the total amount received and then there is a figure for the total vaccines available to be administered. The figure for the total vaccines available to be administered is that 800,000 figure. The figure in respect of vaccines delivered will be higher than that. In respect of the Moderna vaccine, for example, we hold back 50% of the stock. In the case of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines, we hold back stock relative to the second dose, which must be administered in the weeks following the first dose.
