EU Commissioner says Ireland will have enough vaccines to fully protect 70% of the population by July




A European Commissioner has said Ireland will have enough vaccines to fully protect 70% of the population by July.

Speaking to an Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs, Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said Ireland is on course to receive 6 million doses by July.

Breton also told the committee that European Union is on track to be one the leading manufacturers of Covid-19 vaccines with the capacity to provide 3 billion doses by the end of the year.

However Breton did warn that Ireland and other countries would only achieve this target if they can quickly produce and implement mass vaccination centres.
