THE ONLINE BOOKING system for Covid-19 vaccines will open tomorrow for the 25-29 age cohort, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has announced. 

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. 

Those registering through the portal will receive a Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine.

People aged 18-34 are also currently able to register with a pharmacy to receive the one-dose Janssen vaccine, subject to supply.

The HSE is also planning to roll-out an opt-in system to allow those aged 18-34 to register on its vaccine portal to receive an AstraZeneca or Janssen vaccine in a vaccination centre.

The latest vaccine statistics reveal that more than 4.8 million doses have been administered in Ireland.

As of Tuesday night, over 2.6 million people in Ireland have received at least one dose and more than 2.1 million people have two doses.

The number of people in hospital with Covid-19 currently stands at 72, with 20 of the patients in intensive care units.
