I accept the campaign by Laura and the excellent work that has been done, which has hugely benefited society. Has the Department developed an understanding of the challenges that exist? We are getting a lot of misinformation regarding vaccines. A lot of people are reading information on them. It is important that the State, aided by science, the Chief Medical Officer and advice of medical professionals, puts the information in a robust way in order that any attempt to undermine public health or vaccination or immunisation programmes is countered. At this point, we are perhaps taking things slightly for granted. We need a robust rebuttal of some of the information that is being put out there.
