Ireland's EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness has said the Commission is hopeful that the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine will be approved, and that 200 million doses have been ordered for EU states, meaning Ireland should receive 2.2 million doses

Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Philip Boucher Hayes programme, Ms McGuinness said advance purchase agreements will allow companies ramp up production, adding that 300 million new vaccines from Moderna are also on order.

She said that haste is a dangerous word and the Commission, in consultation with member states, reached a joint agreement on the approach to vaccines. "The President of the Commission has been steadfast in saying there are difficulties now, and there will continue to be bumps on the road and rolling out production, making sure we get access, but when we look back maybe in a month or two, we will see the fruits of that work," she said.

She said all members of the Commission would like the roll-out to work faster, but added that it relies on supply chains.
