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

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I thank the Deputy for the question. For those people in assisted living facilities that are not registered with HIQA, mostly religious organisations, vaccination commenced on Monday, 8 February for people over the age of 65. It is for those people living in accommodation such as the Matthew Shea Home, the Sue Ryder homes, and the non-registered facilities that are, as I said, run by religious organisations. These vaccinations were brought ahead to the beginning of this week because there are fears around the weather at the end of the week. We expect to have 9,000 people in those settings vaccinated this week.
