18 to 34 year olds will be able to get vaccinated in pharmacies from Monday

The official advice from NIAC is under 50's should get an mRNA vaccine such as Pfizer where possible. 

However 18 to 34 year olds who want an earlier vaccination will be able to get the one-shot Johnson and Johnson in a local pharmacy. 

It comes as the Deputy Chief Medical Officer says at least 80% of the population will need to be vaccinated before the country can fully reopen. 

Dr Ronan Glynn says the news doesn't change it's recommendation to delay indoor dining: 

"Our modelling teams did look at a range of scenarios in which vaccination was sped up for younger people in July and August, but as I said earlier, the reality, unfortunately, is that vaccination will not materially alter the pathway that we're now on in July and August, that recommendation would not have made any material change to what we recommended earlier this week."
