A number of large-scale COVID-19 vaccination centres are to be set up across the country as part of the rollout to over-70s.
The first will be at DCU where around 120 smaller GP practices will come together to administer the Pfizer and Moderna jabs.
Over-85s will be offered the vaccines from February 15th and the majority of them will be able to go to their own doctor's surgery.
It comes as thousands of doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, originally set aside for the elderly, will be administered to frontline healthcare workers in the coming weeks.
The vaccine is arriving into the country this weekend, with Health Minister Stephen Donnelly confirming that 21,600 doses will be delivered.
