The Government is not looking to introduce a requirement for three vaccines in order to use the Covid-19 pass, for now.

However, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said while “our understanding of the virus and vaccines is evolving all the time”, science is emerging, which is leading a lot of people to say a third dose will be needed to be considered fully vaccinated.
