People aged 16-49 will be allowed to register for coronavirus vaccinations starting May 17, it was agreed on Monday by the vaccination workgroup. The workgroup discussed if the 40-49 age group should be vaccinated ahead of those under 40, but decided against it. On May 17, everyone under 50 will be able to register for vaccination as time slots become available on the Patient Portal. Time slots are dependent on vaccine deliveries. From Thursday (May 13), the over 40s will be able to register for a time slot and those under 40 can do so from Monday (May 17). Additionally, vaccines will no longer be split evenly across the country and more will be directed to bigger population centers.
