The Workplace Relations Minister has outlined a new assessment tool to help employers figure out which of their staff need to be vaccinated.
Michael Wood says it will provide a clear framework when it comes into effect next month.
The tool is still being refined but is likely to assess four factors - the environment an employee works in, if they work near others, if that is for long periods, and if they provide services to people who are vulnerable to Covid-19.
