People in their 40s could be given a choice of which vaccine they receive, according to advice given to the HSE.
The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (Niac) has advised that people in this age group can choose whether to accept one of the AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson vaccines, or wait for Moderna or Pfizer.
At present, AstraZeneca and the Johnson & Johnson (also known as the Janssen) jabs are not being given to those under the age of 50 due to concerns over a rare blood clotting issue.
