Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-11
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

Yes, absolutely. The validated data show an efficacy of 58% or 59%. The Oxford trials, for example, have that figure as a little bit higher. I believe the UK is about to publish field data, which may be higher again. We must keep all of that under review. If we find out that the effectiveness changes, which is updated based on more and more information, then we absolutely have to update the delivery plan accordingly.
