While I know that speed is of the essence in rolling out the booster programme, are there plans to ensure the EU-compatible digital Covid certificate, which is the record of vaccination, will include information on the administration of the third dose? As the Taoiseach is aware, for example, from tomorrow, France will require people over a certain age to have had three doses before they can participate in certain activities. There will be a need for the record of this third dose.

There certainly will. To be frank, the Deputy prefaced his question with the reply in the sense that, at the moment, the focus is on getting the booster rolled out. We have administered around 1.25 million doses. It would not be fair at this stage of the booster campaign to differentiate in terms of access and so on. It is an issue and there will have to be records. The whole focus of the energy of the HSE, the Department of Health and the Minister is on maximising the administration of vaccines right now.
