Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said US does not have a “stockpile” of Covid-19 vaccines to distribute to other countries.

Mr Martin said President Joe Biden hopes to know by the summer “where they will be” when it comes to a potential excess supply of coronavirus vaccines, and it would be at that point the US could look at helping other countries.
