Minister for Health announces National COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy
Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly TD, has today announced the National COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy, which outlines Ireland’s high-level plan for safe, effective and efficient vaccination of the population, while safeguarding continued provision of health and social care services.
The National COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy, which was prepared by the High-Level Task Force on COVID-19 Vaccination, was signed off by Cabinet this morning.
The government established the High-Level Task Force on COVID-19 Vaccination in November with the purpose of supporting the Department of Health and the HSE in developing the plan. The HLTF has also produced an Implementation Plan. This provides more detailed operational information and will be a ‘living document’, requiring regular revision and updating as the programme evolves.
