The vaccine rollout is gaining speed...
The HSE's online portal for Covid-19 vaccines opens for the 30 to 34 age-group today.
34-year-olds can sign up for an MRNA jab this morning, with 33-year-olds tomorrow, down to 30-year-olds on Sunday.
Under-35s can also opt to get a Johnson and Johnson vaccine in a pharmacy.
80,000 jabs are being distributed to outlets from today.
HSE CEO Paul Reid says the country's five-millionth vaccine will have been administered by the end of today.
Meanwhile the number of Covid-19 patients in hospital has increased by 38 per cent in the past two weeks.
It has risen from 39 to 54 - and the chief medical officer says the situation's a 'cause for concern'.
Dr Tony Holohan says NPHET will be monitoring this closely in the days and weeks ahead.
