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

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy. The question has been put to me directly in the last week and a half. I do not want to stray into giving medical advice, which I am not qualified to give. I put the same question to public health and the Department and the answer I got was that the issue has been looked into in great detail, and the advice from NIAC is that there is no additional risk. However, I am conscious that I am not an expert or a clinician, so I would like to revert to the Deputy and, indeed, to other Deputies with a precise answer from those who are experts in the field to explain the position.
