Those aged 30-39 will be asked to register for their Covid-19 vaccination next week, despite supply shortages which have continued to hamper the programme, it is expected. The HSE expects to administer between 250,000-280,000 vaccine doses this week, Ministers were told, with sources suggesting it will be nearer the higher figure. Ireland is due 17,000 doses of J&J next week, 10,000 the week after and 27,000 the week after that. There are about 420,000 AstraZeneca second doses due to be administered between mid-June and early August, officials said. Tuesday, June 8th, marked six months since the beginning of the vaccination programme in Northern Ireland.
