Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Paul Reid:

I thank the Senator, including for his earlier comments. We are sufficient with stocks we ordered for the flu vaccine much earlier in the year. The flu campaign will start on 3 October, early next week, and there will be a dual campaign relating to Covid, with the new multivariant vaccine that is available, and the flu vaccine. We have a number of media communications programmes to encourage and strengthen uptake. We are more than sufficient in terms of supplies of both the flu and the new multivariant Covid vaccines.
