More than 2.1 million vaccine doses have now been administered in the Republic, with the rollout continuing as normal despite the recent HSE cyberattack.
People can register for their vaccine by going to the HSE's vaccine portal or calling 1850-24-1850.
It comes as SIPTU says is “hugely short-sighted” for companies to force their workers to take unpaid leave for vaccine appointments.
The union has warned that the issue is becoming more pronounced as the vaccine is offered to younger age groups.
