Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

The Government policy and rules around this are very clear. There are only three groups of people who can receive the vaccine at present, namely, care home residents over 65 years and care home staff and healthcare workers who interact with patients. It is important to bear in mind that some administrative and reception staff engage with patients. The third group is people who are over 85 years. Nobody else should be receiving the vaccine. If Deputies have examples of people receiving the vaccine who should not, they should let us know and we will follow it up.
