We all understand that roll-out will be a logistically challenging undertaking for our health service. A tracking system of vaccinations will be important given there will be two vaccines. Solidarity-People Before Profit spoke to a public health doctor recently who told us that they will find this extremely challenging as they are operating at less than one-third of the resources and staff that will be required to roll-out the vaccine. There are enormous challenges in regard to roll-out. There is another challenge, which is the fears people may have about a vaccine. There are people in society who will seek to stoke up that fear. The Minister and the Government need to allay the fear around vaccine safety and roll-out. This will be important because what we do not want is particular elements stoking up fear in regard to the vaccines.
