Covid vaccine registration opens for over 35s in Czech Republic

Registration for vaccination against Covid=19 opened to people in the Czech Republic in the 35 to 39 age category on Monday morning. Around 50,000 people in that bracket had signed up for inoculation by 8 am, officials said. This was slower than initial take-up among older age groups.

The move means that vaccines are now available to 6.6 million people in the country of 10.7 million.

From Wednesday it will be possible for those aged 30 or more to sign up for vaccination.
