Covid vaccine portal now open for people aged 18-24

Those who register now will be offered an AstraZeneca vaccine if it is available earlier than an mRNA jab.

PEOPLE AGED BETWEEN 18-24 can register to receive an AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine from today. 

The HSE has confirmed that the online booking system is now open to those in the age cohort. 

People registering for their vaccine on the HSE website will need: 

  • Their PPS number
  • Their Eircode
  • A mobile phone number
  • An email address

People who don’t have all of these, or who would prefer not to register online, can call HSELive on 1850 241 850 for assistance with the registration process. 

The HSE has confirmed that those who register now will still be offered a Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine if it is available, but will be offered an AstraZeneca vaccine if it is available earlier than an mRNA jab. 

They recommend that those who do not want the AstraZeneca vaccine should not register yet.

Those aged between 18-34 can also choose to get the single-shot Janssen vaccine at a participating pharmacy.

The latest vaccine statistics show that more than 5.1 million doses have been administered in Ireland.

As of Sunday night, over 2.9 million people in Ireland have received at least one dose and more than 2.2 million people have two doses.

The number of people in hospital with Covid-19 currently stands at 91, with 22 of the patients in intensive care units.

    Nothing special on Repeat Media TV for the winter so. Maybe we get a few nee episodes of The Chase as well?

    “International Dramas”

    Also known as the police procedurals from England that ITV shown about 2 years ago and that vast majority of people have actually already seen.

    VMTV really makes RTÉ look professional, and that’s saying something.
    Wonder when the new VMTV channel will start airing Ireland AM and the Chase repeats too.

    @Darren Anthony Corr: they already started with repeats of the chase believe it or not! Such lazy scheduling. They have load of old shoes they could easily repeat if they don’t want to pay for new. content

    @Luke Ronan:
    The thing is, VMTV could actually be a decent channel if they actually bothered to be better than RTÉ rather than just competing with them, and do their own terrible versions of RTEs already terrible programming.
    There also isn’t any need for like 4 VMTV channels, 1 is clearly enough. The other 3 are just zombie channels on life support, mainly because they bought them off other companies to eliminate the competition but then didn’t actually have any plans for them.
    But the main VMTV just tries to emulate RTÉ shows in ridiculous ways, like having the news at 5:30 rather than RTEs 6-1, or their own version of the Late Late Toy Show.
    They should be trying to outshine RTÉ and it really wouldn’t be difficult to do, but VMTV is ridiculously lazy.
