Ireland could be in line for an extra 20 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines by the end of 2023.
The Business Post reports a new deal between the EU and Pfizer for up to 1.8 billion doses is being finalised.
It would be the world's largest vaccine deal to date - and entitle Ireland to around 20 million jabs.
Meanwhile, the head of the country's vaccine taskforce says 30 per cent of adults will have received their first dose by today.
