Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Roll-out of Covid-19 Vaccination: Discussion
Dr. Colm Henry:
Leaning into the experience from our existing vaccination programmes, we will use general practice, pharmacists and other networks of healthcare professionals to identify people who are not used to or comfortable with computers. This has already led to a much-increased provision and acceptance of the flu vaccine in those age groups over recent years. We will rely on many options, and not only computer registration. We have a network of healthcare professionals who will identify people and encourage them to get the vaccine.
