The EU say it'll be distributed quickly once available.
A contract to produce 300 million doses of a new Covid-19 vaccine for member states will be signed by the European Commission today.
Initial results of the Pfizer Bio-N-Tech jab have shown it to prevent 90 percent of people getting the virus in trials.
Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen says it'll be distributed quickly once available.
MEP Sean Kelly says the deal will see Ireland get its fair share.
''I don't think there will be any issue really with it being available, once its distributed initially I think it will wrap up very quickly from there on.
''Ireland will obviously be to the forefront, the same as the other European states. There's no question of any state being left behind or one getting priority over the other''.
