Registration on the HSE portal will open tomorrow for children aged 12 to 15
Some pharmacies will operate evening vaccination clinics to help the roll-out to children aged between 12 and 15.
Registration on the HSE portal will open tomorrow for the age group, with first jabs to be given out as soon as this weekend.
Parents' permission is required for children to get a vaccine, so its hoped the evening clinics will ease the burden on work pressures.
Darragh O'Loughlin from the Irish Pharmacy Union says they are ready to roll-out the vaccines:

While mixing Covid-19 vaccines makes perfect sense according to an immunovirology expert.
The Irish Times reports the Department of Health has sought legal advice on mixing vaccines made by different manufacturers.
It would mean people could be given a different vaccines for their first and second dose or for a booster shot.
Professor of Immunovirology at UCC Liam Fanning says other countries are already mixing vaccines
