Leo Varadkar says if new vaccines that are more effective for certain groups of people emerge those people may be prioritised.
A report on the roll-out of the COVID vaccine is due to be delivered to government tomorrow.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar was asked in the Dáil why children and pregnant women have been left until last in the current sequencing plans:
"Not many people would offer a [vaccine to a] well child or [to a woman] when they're pregnant. You know unless there was a particular reason for them to participate in clinical trials. It's not that we think that it's unsafe at all for children or pregnant women. It's just that it's not often that children and pregnant women are involved in trials on a new vaccine or a new medicine."
