(Alliance News) - Irish Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has confirmed that the National Immunisation Advisory Committee has recommended to Government that the AstraZeneca PLC and Janssen vaccines can be administered to 18 to 40-year-olds.
The committee has also recommended that the AstraZeneca vaccine dose gap be reduced to four weeks, to allow more people in their 60s to be fully vaccinated faster.
The current gap between dose one and two is being reduced from 12 weeks to eight at present.
Asked on Monday night about the NIAC recommendations, Donnelly said: It will be for all age groups for Janssen and AstraZeneca.
