Dr. Colm Henry:

Absolutely. If we look at our figures, even before the current concern, and I referenced that for seven quarters the uptake rate was below 90%, we had a particularly low uptake in Border counties such as Louth, Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal, sometimes dipping as low as 80% in those areas. One of the benefits of having an enhanced public health workforce which is configured along RHA lines is we are tailoring our programme according to local public health intelligence. It is not just based on areas of low uptake but groups of low uptake such as, as the Deputy referenced, international protection applicants or immigrants whose status is unknown or who may have been wary of being vaccinated. This is focused, based on public health intelligence and local intelligence, and it is targeting specific target groups.
