Nova Scotians between the ages of 40 and 54 will soon be eligible for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

At a Wednesday briefing, it was announced the province hopes to open up bookings for this age group by Friday.

More details are expected soon.

"These appointments will be open across the province and anyone who wants to book one between those ages of 40 to 54 will be able to do so online," said Premier Iain Rankin.

"I know many of you have been asking for this and are anxious to get your shot, so I'm pleased to be able to add this age group to our program."

Currently, only those between the ages of 55 and 64 can get that vaccine.

In addition, anyone 55 and older can book an appointment for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Rankin said, by the end of Wednesday, it's expected 300,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine will have been administered in the province.
