Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
1:25 pm
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
We have been calling for this now for some time. In my view, we need weekly reporting on the estimated delivery of vaccines. We accept all the caveats that can be put on it. The Minister is correct that the HSE confirmed to us that there were a number of interruptions on the supply side. We accept that those interruptions are not the responsibility of the HSE or, indeed, the Government. It is important we get weekly figures for the actual deliveries that came in but also weekly supply projection targets. My understanding is that the weekly reporting of what has arrived will now be fortnightly reporting. That is wrong. Can the Minister, therefore, confirm that it will not be fortnightly and that he will retain the weekly reporting of the vaccines that have arrived in any given week?
