On Tuesday the Ministry of Health agreed to vaccinate everyone over the age of 12 and also agreed to allow the regional authorities administering the doses to “fuse” together age groups in order to speed up the vaccination process, permitting health personnel to open up their booking to a broader age band at a given time in order to more rapidly cover specific areas.
