AstraZeneca vaccine must go through approval process - Fitzgerald

Fine Gael MEP Frances Fitzgerald says the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine must go through the EU approval process before it’s delivered to Ireland.

 

She was responding to confirmation from the Taoiseach that it won’t arrive until mid-February, if it gets the green light at the end of this month.

 

The Government had been in talks to secure early supplies so that rapid vaccination could start.

 

Fitzgerald says the delay shouldn’t come as a surprise
