A review for the Health Service Executive into how Covid-19 vaccines at the Beacon Hospital in Dublin were given to a group of teachers at a private school in Wicklow has found that there was no evidence the school had solicited the vaccines.
The 83-page unpublished report, seen by RTÉ News, says that the school acted in good faith and on the assurances of the hospital CEO, that the offer of the vaccines was entirely legitimate, above board and with the permission of the HSE.
The external review was sought by Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly after it emerged that the Beacon Hospital had administered vaccines to 20 teachers at St Gerard's private school in Bray on 23 March, using vaccines supplied by the HSE.
