“Children are not prevented from going to school unless they are vaccinated”.
“Gan bac ar leanaí dul ar scoil mura bhfuil siad vacsaínithe”.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has confirmed that children do not need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 before returning to school at the end of the summer.
Tá sé deimhnithe ag an Aire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly nach gcaithfidh leanaí a bheith vacsaínithe in aghaidh covid 19 sula dtéann siad ar ais ar scoil ag deireadh an tsamhraidh.
Speaking on RTÉ, he said bluntly that this is not and will not be planned.
Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt sé go neamhbhalbh nach bhfuil a leithéid á bheartú agus nach mbeidh sé á bheartú.
Yesterday, it was announced that the Covid-19 vaccine is to be made available to children between the ages of twelve and fifteen from next week.
Inné, fógraíodh go bhfuiltear leis an vacsaín covid 19 a chur ar fáil do leanaí idir dhá bhliain déag agus cúig bliana déag ón tseachtain seo chugainn.
Stephen Donnelly said today that the National Immunization Advisory Committee had given the matter a lot of thought before recommending that the vaccine be given to those of that age group.
Dúirt Stephen Donnelly inniu go raibh go leor machnaimh déanta ar an gceist ag an gCoiste Comhairleach Náisiúnta um Imdhíonadh sular mhol siad an vacsaín a thabhairt do lucht an aoisghrúpa sin.
Protecting children in that age group from a serious illness led to the decision, he claimed.
Páistí san aoisghrúpa sin a dhíonadh ó dhrochthinneas is cúis leis an gcinneadh, a mhaígh sé.
It is estimated that about 269,000 children will be vaccinated and will be given the vaccine in vaccination centers or GP centers, Stephen Donnelly said.
Áirítear thart ar 269,000 leanbh a bheith i gceist agus tabharfar an vacsaín dóibh in ionaid vacsaínithe nó in ionaid dochtúirí teaghlaigh, a dúirt Stephen Donnelly.
One of the mRNA vaccines – Pfizer or Moderna – is given and requires prior parental consent.
Ceann de na vacsaíní mRNA – Pfizer nó Moderna – a thabharfar dóibh agus ní mór cead tuismitheora a fháil roimh ré.
Stephen Donnelly pointed out that some of the details of the plan are still being worked on.
Thug Stephen Donnelly le fios go bhfuiltear ag obair i gcónaí ar chuid de shonraí an phlean.
