This is the order specific groups of people in Northern Ireland will receive a Covid-19 vaccination when it becomes available

The following list was devised by independent expert advisory group, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) and will be used by the Northern Ireland Executive.

1 - older adults’ resident in a care home and care home workers.

2 - all those 80 years of age and over and health and social care workers.

3 - all those 75 years of age and over.

4 - all those 70 years of age and over.

5 - all those 65 years of age and over.

6 - high-risk adults under 65 years of age.

7 - moderate-risk adults under 65 years of age.

8 - all those 60 years of age and over.

9 - all those 55 years of age and over.

10 - all those 50 years of age and over.

11 - rest of the population (priority to be determined).

The prioritisation could change substantially if the first available vaccines were not considered suitable for, or effective in, older adults.
