Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
647. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the representations he has made to countries in which vaccines (details supplied) or other non-EMA approved vaccines have been administered to Irish citizens. [30529/21]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department continues to work closely with our international partners to support the health and welfare of Irish citizens overseas in the context of COVID-19. I have not made direct representations relating to non-EMA approved vaccines; however, our Embassies and Consulates liaise closely with local health authorities to ensure that relevant public health information is made available to Irish citizens, including in relation to local vaccination programmes. My Department is also in ongoing contact with the Department of Health regarding the provision of advice and support to our citizens abroad. Our advice to citizens is to follow the guidelines of the public health authorities in the region or country in which they are located.
