Covid vaccinations for people aged between 65 and 69 begin today. This follows a surge in registrations over the weekend via the HSE online portal.

So far, more than 100,000 registrations have been made for Covid-19 vaccines on the portal. Based on supplies, the HSE then hopes to proceed to those aged between 60 and 64.

In the coming days, GPs, vaccination centres and the National Ambulance Service are focused on administering jabs to the over 70s, housebound patients and the medically vulnerable.

The Taoiseach said he is hopeful the pace will pick up this week as the country is now ''moving in the right direction''. Micheál Martin said 140,000 doses in total were administered last week.
