The Government plans to donate between one and two million surplus vaccines to developing countries.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is seeking Cabinet approval to donate one million vaccines – and potentially more after a review of pre-purchasing agreements.
The donations will be made through the COVAX system.
Separate work is underway to give surplus stocks of AstraZeneca currently in Ireland to African countries.
