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

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I am aware of the situation. The current public health advice to me is that the exemption should apply to EMA-approved vaccines. I believe that list will grow. Sinopharm is one of the 12 which is not within the four that have been recognised by the EMA, but it is a reasonable question. The question being posed by Irish people who are in the Emirates right now is reasonable and I will seek a view from public health on it.
