Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-06
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

I must say I am not comforted by that response. It was a heavily caveated response, which I was not expecting, but that is a matter for the Minister and the Government. It would be much better if we had a strong position on this but it is a matter for the Government.
I will move to the vaccine roll-out and a question about registration. I am getting a lot of calls from people who are aged between 65 and 69, who have registered online and are yet to receive a call for vaccination. I presume they will get a call. What is the average time period between a person registering and getting a call? If a couple of weeks goes by, people are obviously concerned that they have missed something. Can the Minister give us an indication as to the length of the time lag between a person registering and when he or she can expect a call?
