Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The flu vaccine programme is under way and there are specific categories of people who will receive it. I will talk to the health authorities about the Deputy's suggestion. By and large, the vulnerable sectors of the population are the first priority and there is also a specific programme for children, unlike last year. We are looking for a far more expanded programme and a higher participation rate this year than ever before. There have been delays with supplies of the vaccine, which had nothing to do with here but were at the manufacturing end. They have eased somewhat and the programme is now under way.
