The Covid-19 vaccine portal for 45 to 49 year olds will open from tomorrow, RTÉ News has learned. Initially mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer and Moderna, will be available for this age group.

Work is ongoing at the Health Service Executive around use of the Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) vaccine. The Health Service Executive's Chief Clinical Officer said the executive has received advice from National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) that people aged 40 to 49 could receive Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) and AstraZeneca vaccines.

Dr Colm Henry said the HSE will see if this advice, and conditions attached to it, can be reconciled to the vaccination programme, which is ramping up in scale and gathering pace.
