578. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health the steps he is taking to address the shortage of a non-MRNA Covid-19 vaccine (details supplied); the engagements he has had with the European Medicines Agency in respect of authorisation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41006/24]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
