All the news about coronavirus vaccinations – What to do with the 30-44 age group
The platform of vaccination appointments for the age group of 40-44 with all types of vaccines will open during the last 10 days of May, as until then they can only book their appointment with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Thus, in the last ten days of May and every five years age group, appointments will be opened for all vaccines, first for the age group 40 – 44, then for the 35 – 40 and then for the 30 – 34. Depending on the course of the appointments of these age groups and based on vaccine deliveries from companies, it is likely that vaccination appointments will open in June for the next 25-29 and 19-24 age groups.
