Outlining the procedures at a press conference on Wednesday, the prime minister’s top aide, Michał Dworczyk, said that from January 15 people above 80 will be able to book a specific time and place to receive a jab, while seniors aged over 70 will be able to do so as of January 22.

There will be three ways of registering for a vaccination, Dworczyk said: through a 989 helpline, via the internet and at vaccination points.
