I raise the important issue of the winter flu vaccine in relation to the revelations this morning concerning the distribution of the vaccine. I was contacted by a local pharmacy group that represents pharmacies in the south east, particularly in County Wexford. Their problem seems to be the method of releasing the flu vaccine is not compatible with the quantities ordered. This is leaving the school clinic initiative way short of the quantities required. There are 13 primary schools signed up to this initiative in Wexford. This is a serious problem. Will the Taoiseach immediately review the distribution chain and distribution method of the winter flu vaccine? This will also have the immediate effect of relieving the burden on Covid-19 testing centres.
