Ireland has reached the milestone of administering 500,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines.

The Taoiseach has welcomed the news, saying they're having a significant impact on mortality and serious illness.

Meanwhile, the head of the HSE says he is confident next week's vaccine target of 84,000 doses will be met.

Last week's aim of 100,000 was missed because of ongoing supply issues with AstraZeneca.
