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

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I am happy to inform the Deputy that the Janssen single-shot vaccine was administered today to prioritised groups of medically vulnerable people living in homelessness services in Dublin. This group includes people with specific underlying conditions. There are more than 700 medically vulnerable people in homelessness services, and approximately 350 of them are due to receive the vaccine this week alone. The Janssen vaccine is very appropriate because it is a one-shot vaccine. It was incredible to see all the stakeholders and very vulnerable people who cocooned and made huge sacrifices over the past year. It was wonderful to see that single-shot Janssen being administered. That will be a huge game changer in the coming weeks and months.
