Donnelly: target is to have 700,000 vaccinated by end of March

The Health Minister said the number was built on the assumption that the Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine would be approved on January 29.

The Government plans to have 700,000 people vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of March, the Health Minister has told the Dáil.

Stephen Donnelly told TDs that the updated figures would see those at most risk of the virus fully vaccinated by the summer.
