There has been huge demand for the vaccine since it was announced on Friday 18-34 year-olds could apply for the one-shot dose. Pharmacists across the nation are to begin vaccinating 18-34 year-olds today as the vaccination programme escalates. HSE chief Paul Reid yesterday confirmed that 120,000 doses of the one-shot vaccine would be distributed to more than 850 participating pharmacies this week. It’s expected that close to 200,000 doses of the vaccine will be available next month. “Pharmacies have been told they will get around 50 vaccines each by the end of next week,” he said.
