The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly is expected to announce plans that will see doctors and pharmacists administering the Covid-19 vaccine.
According to RTE News, the State will be paying €91m over the next six months to doctors and pharmacists to administer the Covid-19 vaccine.
It is understood that the proposal will be based on Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine which doesn’t require cold storage.
The plan would see doctors and pharmacists vaccinating 1.5 million and they will receive €60 per patient that requires two doses.
Meanwhile they will receive €35 per dose should a single dose vaccine such as Johnson and Johnson be approved.
It is expected that the plan would be reviewed in six months time.
