Less than half of people say they would 'definitely' take a Covid-19 vaccine.
According to Department of Health research, the figure stands at 45 per cent, but another 28 per cent say they would 'probably' take one.
The cabinet will discuss the vaccination process tomorrow, after receiving a report from a state taskforce on Friday.
Dr Eoghan de Barra, a consultant in infectious diseases in Beaumont Hospital, says he is not too concerned about the findings of the department's research.
