Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-04-22
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy for the solidarity and support in people sticking with the measures. We are in a slightly cautious space right now where more and more people believe that we are through it, whereas we are not. We are getting much closer so I thank the Deputy for his words on that.
My latest figures are from the task force on Monday. I believe they were with him the following day. The figure I have for April is a total of just under 940,000 doses to be supplied. To address exactly what the Deputy was saying, however, that includes almost 41,000 Jannsen vaccines coming into the country as well as an accelerated number of Pfizer vaccines. As the HSE will have covered with the committee on Tuesday, there was a large delay of one week to AstraZeneca, which moved its delivery from the last week in April to the first week in May. The numbers, therefore, have been moving around, as the Deputy will be familiar with.
