It comes as Health Minister Stephen Donnelly confirmed Ireland will receive doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine a week earlier than planned.
The drug was approved for use across the EU by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) earlier on Friday.
Minister Donnelly told The Hard Shoulder: "We've succeeded in getting it in a bit earlier. The contract was to get it in the week of the 15th of February.
"I can confirm now, for the first time, that it's been agreed that we will get it in the week of the 8th of February.
"It may not be the 8th, but the week of the 8th.
"So a week earlier: that means we can get it out, get it into people's arms and get people protected that little bit earlier as well".
