View answerThe Government is committed to the roll-out of a Covid-19 vaccination programme as soon as suitable products have been authorised and supplies are available.
A High-Level Taskforce has recently been established to support and oversee the development and implementation of the programme. The Taskforce is working on a national COVID-19 vaccination strategy and implementation plan and plans to submit this shortly. It will consider the workforce the HSE will require for this programme.
