1524. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Health if those who might be medically at risk of blood clots and are in the cohort for a vaccine (details supplied) will be given alternative vaccines instead; and if he will consider making this an alternative option for persons who request same.

View answerWhile a person can refuse any offer of vaccination on religious, conscientious or other grounds, provision of one or other authorised COVID-19 vaccine(s) during the immunisation programme will be based on clinical expert guidance, including from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee, to ensure the optimal stewardship of scare resources and equitable access to safe and effective vaccine(s) for a given population.
