Choice of vaccine
Everyone who registers online will automatically be offered either the Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine when it is available.
But people aged 18 to 34 will also have a choice to opt in or out of getting the AstraZeneca vaccine if it is available earlier than the Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

People aged 40 or older can register any time, if you haven't already.
