A massive logistical effort will be required to roll out the coronavirus vaccine across the country, the Health Minister was told.

The master plan for the massive deployment of millions of Covid jabs is now complete and ready to go.

It includes proposals for mass vaccination centers, logistical details for the storage and transport of the vaccine vials, advice and directions for the health professionals who will administer the doses and a plan to attract famous faces to promote it.

Stephen Donnelly will study the report of the Vaccine Task Force over the weekend. Then he will take it to the cabinet on Tuesday.

It is planned to be released to the public after considering your recommendations.

The finer details will emerge when the report is released next week, but the Irish Mirror may reveal some of the proposals that we understand have been included in the plan.

Celebrities will be used to try to boost vaccination rates amid fears that ‘anti-vaccines’ have taken over government plans for mass vaccination of the population.

It is believed that the so-called “vaccine ambassadors” will be selected from the ranks of famous Irish people in sport, show business, politics and public life.

They can also come from social media, and ‘influencers’ are expected to be recruited specifically to persuade young people to join in on the coups.

The main 50-page document, one of two texts, will also talk about the massive logistical effort that will be required to roll out the vaccine across the country.

A government source told the Mirror that the vaccine launch would be a major national operation.

He said: “It will basically be the largest public health logistics job in the history of the state.”

It is understood that huge “mass vaccination centers” will be needed and the Government has been searching for suitable sites for the past few weeks.

Dr. Cillian de Gascun, a member of NPHET, said the task force’s plan will make the delivery of the punches fast and efficient.

“I understand that as vaccines become available, they will be rolled out.”

Meanwhile, as part of their vaccine task force’s work, HSE chiefs launched an online survey to try to find out why people might be nervous about taking the new Covid vaccines.

And they are also taking the opportunity to remind people how important vaccines have been in eradicating deadly diseases in the past.

A spokeswoman said: “The HSE is part of the High Level Working Group on COVID-19 Vaccination, and our health services teams, staff, experts and providers will play a central role in many aspects of the implementation of this national program.

“The HSE and a variety of health professionals provide all of Ireland’s public immunization programs for children and adults, safely protecting millions of people with vaccinations each year.

“In Ireland, vaccines are offered to protect us against 13 infectious diseases.

“Significant progress has been made in reducing these potentially serious diseases since vaccines were introduced.

“Almost 200 years of vaccination campaigns delivered to millions of people have greatly reduced the burden of infectious diseases that caused widespread death and disability for children and adults in Ireland.

“For example, poliomyelitis, an acute disease that invades the gastrointestinal tract, is a disease that can be prevented with vaccines.

“In Ireland a polio vaccine was introduced in 1957 which eliminated the disease in 1984.

“The MMR vaccine, which protects children against mumps, measles and rubella, has an absorption rate of more than 90% and the vaccination rate against HPV exceeds 80%, which protects children and First-year girls from HPV-related cancers “.
