Advice from Niac due in coming days on use of AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines on under 50s

The Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has said that he would like to think that there could be spectators at this year’s All-Ireland finals.

However, Dr Holohan said people should not get ahead of themselves and should still be cautious and maintain public health measures. Asked by RTÉ for a timeframe, she replied: “I think July at the latest, but I would be more ambitious than that and I’d like to see some live music test events take place in June because these venues and performers have been stopped by the pandemic from earning a living and we have missed performing, so I’m determined to make that happen as soon as possible.”

“Then it is a question of what happens next. We might have increased flexibility on AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.” Dr Holohan said he was not opposed to antigen tests or to retailers selling them but he was concerned about people’s interpretation of the result of a test. There was a risk that if someone got a negative result that might falsely reassure them when 50 per cent of antigen tests could be misleading and this meant the potential for superspreader events.Dr Holohan said it was not a question of trust in the public it was the fact that the test did not give “a reliable enough” result.
