David Cullinane: I commend Dr. Henry and Professor Butler on the work they have done. Notwithstanding any questions we put or any concerns we have raised in the past about the roll-out, I genuinely commend all of those involved in the process. It is a major undertaking and it is also very important in the context of us fighting back against Covid-19. People can see there is real progress to be made and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)

How many vaccines are we expecting to get this month and in May and June? How many inoculations are expected?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: The Government is.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: Can I ask if that is a Government target or a HSE target? We hear all the time about this target of all adults receiving their first dose at least by the end of June. Is that a Government target, a HSE target or both?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
