The HSE is assessing whether it's possible to further reduce the gap between doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
It has only just managed to implement a recommendation made in April to reduce the gap from 16 weeks to 12.
The National Immunisation Advisory Committee has now recommended the second dose of AstraZeneca being administered 8 to 12 weeks after the first dose.
