I propose to take Questions Nos. 2655 and 3059 together.

The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) is currently reviewing future vaccination requirements, including the potential need for booster shots and is expected to make recommendations in this regard shortly. Following receipt of the NIAC advice, my Department and the HSE will consider the appropriate operational measures to implement the recommendations.

Question No. 2656 answered with Question No. 2610.
