They'll administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Pharmacies are expected to begin administering Covid-19 vaccinations from next week.
They'll initially administer the Johnson and Johnson vaccine to people over 50 who've yet to receive a jab.
More than half the population has now received a first dose of a vaccine, while the registration portal for people aged 40 to 44 opens tomorrow.
Darragh O'Loughlin from the Irish Pharmacy Union says they'll administer other vaccines over time:
