Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
The Role of Pharmacy Care in the Healthcare System: Irish Pharmacy Union
Dr. Susan O'Dwyer:
That is a decision for the Department in terms of funding under the national immunisation programme. It will make decisions on which particular vaccines should be reimbursed. To date, it has not made a decision around the shingles one. We would think that life-course vaccination is equally important to just the childhood vaccination programme so being able to fund that across the board makes sense.
