John Lahart: Published figures for vaccine deliveries into Ireland show that 1.187 million - almost 1.2 million - doses were received up to the end of March. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: As of Friday, April 16, which was last Friday, 1.18 million doses had been administered into people's arms. That is almost three weeks later. That figure is only about 1,000 more than the figure for the vaccines that was publicised as being received into the country up to the end of March.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: No, I got this information from the app.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: Yes, it updates, not daily. It is approximately two or three days behind.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: How many doses have been administered?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: The HSE has administered 1.2 million doses up to today, 20 April, but on 31 March 1.187 million doses had been received, which is a tiny bit shy of 1.2 million.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: I know about the buffer and all the rest. For six weeks the HSE and others have talked about administering 0.25 million doses per week in April. I forgave that for the first and second weeks of April. Then we had the AstraZeneca thing but remember AstraZeneca only accounts for 25%. So, at 31 March we had received a ballpark figure of 1.2 million doses and as of today we have administered...

John Lahart: Moderna is a tiny amount of only 50,000 doses.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: Targets were set not by the HSE although Paul Reid talked on radio about 0.25 million vaccines per week. As many as 1.2 million vaccines have been administered up to today and we are to get to 4 million vaccines by the end of June. The target is not a big deal to me but it is what missing the targets implies, and they are not the HSE's target necessarily. Right now, 27% of Irish people are...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: Again, we are not going to hold the HSE to this, but there are ten days left in April, about 400,000 vaccines are due to come in, 1.2 million vaccines have been administered up to today, and if everything went okay, where might we be at the end of April?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: We are at 1.2 million doses today. Where would we be if those figures come through by 30 April?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: So that is 1.46 million vaccines.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: For six weeks, we have been promised that there would be 0.25 million vaccines done next week. Does the HSE have the capacity to reach 0.25 million vaccines if all of the winds blew in its direction, and pharmacists and dentists were on board?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: So, hiccups have held up progress.
