Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I raised this because I was contacted about it. There are always people who object to certain vaccines and it is important we clarify it. I support the introduction of a vaccine for cervical cancer. The Minister states there is no scientific evidence that it is contra-indicated for girls with a certain family history. I am not suggesting there is an issue but I seek clarity.

A report in a medical journal suggests boys may be considered as well as girls. Has the Minister considered that? This project is included in the programme for Government. Will it be done in the early or later stages of the life of the Government, if there should be later stages?
