Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly at Government Buildings yesterday
This morning.
RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has said analysis is being done on whether those aged in their 40s could potentially get vaccinated at the same time as those in their 50s, who will have to wait for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
“What we are thinking through is, in several weeks’ time, is there an option to begin vaccinating for example the 40-49 cohort in parallel [to the 50 to 59 year olds]?” he said.
The Department of Health is “running the numbers” today and over the weekend. Mr Donnelly said another “really positive thing” is the opening of the vaccination portal for those aged 50-59 next week .

📻 “We’re in Level 5, you could argue we’re going to a 3-plus or a 4-minus … but I think at this point it’s probably better to just look at the measures”
Minister @DonnellyStephen says we can, to an extent, discount the Levels, but it’s still a “useful architecture”#TodayCB
