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

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)

David Cullinane: I was just looking for clarity on that. The committee will have to study the recommendations or report that will come from the EMA but given that it seems to be very similar to the AstraZeneca vaccine in its warning and authorised use for all people over 18, with the benefits outweighing the risk, is it possible we will see a similar recommendation coming from NIAC on the Johnson &...

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

David Cullinane: I have some questions for Dr. Henry on the roll-out, which has had some benefits for healthcare, including what is happening in care homes. We all recognise this and accept it as progress. With respect to roll-out targets, how many inoculations happened up to yesterday for this month? What was the figure up to April so far?

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

David Cullinane: I am looking for a number of figures and I do not need context. I just need the figures. I am seeking the number for April so far and estimated delivery and inoculation figures for the complete months of April, May and June. 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)

David Cullinane: I know caveats will be put on all of this but, with respect, I asked a specific question on the numbers. It can be very difficult to get those numbers.

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

David Cullinane: I know we must take the numbers given with caveats but I am asking how many vaccines we are expecting for the months of April, May and June, and how many inoculations are expected to happen.

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)

David Cullinane: I have one more question. It concerns pregnant women, which is an issue that arises regularly. There are pregnant women who would argue that if there is any potential complication in the pregnancy, they should be vaccinated. Is that something that is being looked at? Second, senior trade union representatives have been in contact with me in relation to prison officers who are escorting...

David Cullinane: May I raise an issue, please?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee (13 Apr 2021)

David Cullinane: I wish to raise the issue of the decision of the national immunisation advisory committee, NIAC, yesterday regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine. Obviously, this is a matter for NIAC in terms of the public health measure and putting safety first. I have no problem with that. It is more the implications of the decision. We need to hear from the HSE and NIAC next week that they have a plan to...
