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

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I will ask that the Deputy is sent a link to the relevant paper. It was issued on 5 February to answer exactly these kinds of reasonable questions. This circular gives a description of who is included in cohort 2, that is, front-line healthcare workers. Group 2(g) covers all other healthcare workers without direct patient care but who are working in a healthcare facility with the potential to meet patients who are not captured in any of the earlier categories. Examples include laboratory staff, pharmacists, catering etc. I will ask that the Deputy is sent exactly this circular. The second part of the answer relates to front-line healthcare workers. We started the vaccination of the second group on Monday this week with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
