Ca. 125,000 People Still Waiting For Vaccine Appointment Won't Be Eligible To Get One In Pharmacy

From next Monday, 18 to 34 year olds will be able to get the single dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine from community pharmacists

However, those aged 35 and above still waiting on a vaccine appointment won't be able to do so. 

In the Dáil Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the new system had been put together with the input of pharmacists:

"Has this been just landed on the pharmacists?. The IPU were central to the planning for this so the IPU have been involved in the detailed planning of this. There are about 700 pharmacies which have opted in so far. More may join. And what people can do is they can go on to hse.ie, and they can find the full list of pharmacies that are engaging and find a pharmacy near them."
