Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Covid-19 and Easing of Restrictions: Discussion
Dr. Ronan Glynn:
NIAC is still looking at that all the evidence around that, so we do not have a recommendation yet to give boosters to those aged 13 to 15. We are not alone in that regard. Across the EU, approximately ten countries have decided to offer boosters but that means that the majority have not yet made that recommendation. NIAC has been in touch with us in recent days. It is actively looking at this matter but obviously there is a lot to weigh up. We will wait until we hear further from it. There is not a recommendation in place that has not operationalised.
