The Irish people have been donated over 2 million vaccines as part of UNICEF’s Get a Vaccine, Give a Vaccine campaign.
They'll be given to healthcare workers in some of the world’s least developed countries.
So far, the campaign has raised more than five million euro from individuals and companies in Ireland.
Executive Director of UNICEF Peter Power said the charity has been "overwhelmed" by Irish generosity.
"These vaccines will go to some countries where there are less than 5% vaccination rates."
UNICEF is on a mission to deliver 2 billion COVID-19 vaccines.
But we can’t do it alone.
That’s why we’re launching our #UNICEFVaccineAlliance and we thank all members!@Aerogen @avolon_aero @ESBGroup @ICONplc @KPMG_Ireland @MHCLawyers @Zurich_Irl https://t.co/ZF37K8cg6B

Face of the initiative Liam Neeson said donating a vaccine is a "an amazing gift to give".
