Ireland to receive nearly 100,000 more vaccines from AstraZeneca

As part of an agreement between AstraZeneca and the EU, it is expected that Ireland will receive an additional 99,000 doses. This increase would see the country receive 400,000 of the 600,000 doses initially promised.

Ireland is set to receive nearly 100,000 more vaccines from Oxford AstraZeneca following a new agreement between the manufacturer and the European Union. 

Embattled EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has announced AstraZeneca will deliver nine million additional doses by the end of March.
