Question from Deputy Ken O'Flynn - PQ 49258-26

To ask the Minister for Health given that the National Immunisation Information System will only capture data on children born from 1 October 2025 onward, the specific measures in place to improve immunisation data quality and identify coverage gaps for children born before that date; whether any interim system or process will be introduced to support regional immunisation committees in identifying low-coverage cohorts before the first NIIS report in early 2027; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
