I wrote to Professor Karina Butler, Chair of the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) and to Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) seeking further clarification of adults with chronic diseases who are at higher risk of severe illness if they contract Covid-19, as well as the immunosuppressed like transplant and cancer patients.

In doing so, I reiterated my acceptance of the advice they had furnished to date and my commitment to be guided by any further advice.
