Health Minister, Wicklow T.D. Stephen Donnelly has said he expects jabs of new vaccines to be rolled out here in the New Year, with healthcare workers and those with vulnerable conditions expected to be treated first.
It comes amid increased calls for pop-up testing to deal with localised outbreaks of the virus.
