Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of vaccinations to employees is a matter for individual employers. In the case raised by the Deputy I would advise that the employer contact the local area health board for further information and advice in relation to any vaccinations that may be required.
