Registration for appointments on the Health Service Executive's vaccination portal begins for 68-year-olds today. The facility is available through HSE.ie and HSE-Live on 1850-24-1850.
Yesterday, around 26,000 people registered for a Covid-19 vaccination within hours of the online portal for 69-year-olds going live and others can continue to do so in the days and weeks ahead.
The HSE said that it would take three weeks to administer first dose vaccines to 65-to-69-year-olds and a further three weeks for the 60-to-64-year-olds, but that they will all be done by the end of May.
Meanwhile, the first of four new temporary walk-in Covid-19 test centres will open later this morning in Dublin. The new centres are opening between now and Sunday.
