Vaccine portal to open for under 40s in the next few days
The Higher Education Minister has confirmed the vaccine portal will open to those in their 30s in the next day or two.
People aged 30-39 are next in line for their injection in the rollout programme.
Simon Harris also believes college students will be vaccinated before the term starts in September.
"From my conversations with our vaccine teams and our public health it's very likely.
"The Taoiseach has said that expects 70% of adults to be fully vaccinated by the end of the July.
"We're opening the portal for people between the ages of 30-39 in the next day or two.
"We have some way to go in terms of getting from here to September in terms of weeks of vaccinations, we're doing probably well over 300,000 vaccines per week now."
