The HSE is still in the process of distributing AstraZeneca vaccine supplies that arrived into the country almost a week ago. A total of 21,600 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine arrived last Saturday but up-to-date figures on how many have been administered have not been supplied by the HSE. It is understood that a similar-sized batch of AstraZeneca supplies is due for delivery this weekend. According to the HSE, Ireland ranks third in the EU in terms of the speed of vaccine roll-out. A total of 243,353 doses of vaccine had been administered by Monday – with 154,900 people receiving their first jab and 88,453 people fully vaccinated.
