People aged 64 have been asked to register first.
People aged between 60 and 64 will be able to register to receive a Covid-19 vaccine from tomorrow (23 April).
The HSE’s online registration system for the vaccinations of people in this age bracket will open on Friday morning.
Similarly to when the portal was opened for those aged between 65 and 69 last week, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the HSE is asking people aged 64 to register first on Friday for their vaccine.
People aged 63 to 60 can then apply in the following days.

To register online, you will need a mobile phone number, an email address, your PPS number and your Eircode.
If you do not have these things, you are advised to call the Covid-19 helpline to register by phone instead.
After you register for the vaccine, the HSE will send you text messages with your vaccination appointment details three to seven days before it is due to take place.
