1,267,167 people have received their first dose, while second doses have been administered to 479,745 people.
It comes as a Dublin GP has said that some people in Ireland are still failing to follow public health advice on how to prevent the transmission of the virus.
Dr Ray Walley, from the GP Expert Advisory Group on COVID-19, said that "the same mistakes are being made" now that occurred in the earlier stages of the pandemic.
Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast with Susan Keogh, Dr Walley said that from a GP's perspective, he could see that "people are making the same mistakes that they did before".
This includes individuals who are showing symptoms of COVID-19 failing to isolate from others.
"There was a downward trend in [case] numbers overall but that has stalled overall as well," he said.
"In fact, testing has been up week on week this week compared to last week.
"But it is the same mistakes being made whereby people are going to work symptomatic or meeting people symptomatic."
