Hiqa: Insufficient evidence for interventions, other than vaccines, to prevent Covid-19

"We would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to avail of the Covid-19 vaccine to do so, as it continues to be the most effective safeguard against serious illness due to COVID-19.”

There is insufficient evidence for any interventions, drug-related or otherwise, to reduce the risk of or prevent Covid-19 other than vaccines.

Dr Máirín Ryan, CEO of the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) said vaccines continue to be the "most effective safeguard" against the coronavirus.
