Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Yes and there are peer vaccinators everywhere. There are staff from within facilities who are trained in administering both vaccines and that makes it more accessible. I would certainly say, if I go back to my time in the health service, access to vaccines was previously a problem. I would not say that access is a problem now and I have not heard anyone complain that access is the problem. There is an issue about motivation and acceptability and some level of vaccine hesitancy as well.
