Ireland's Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly today confirmed the locations for Ireland's vaccination centres.
There will be at least one vaccination centre in every county in the Republic of Ireland, with Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Tipperary, Westmeath, and Wicklow having multiple sites.
According to the Irish government, these centres will support the vaccination of the general population in a safe and efficient manner. While vaccines are currently being administered in healthcare settings and by GPs, many people will be offered their vaccination in these centres, having self-registered online.
The 37 vaccination centres will vary in size and operating hours, which will be based on vaccine supply and catchment area need. They have been selected based on population density, ease of access, transport, and parking. The design and layout of the centres also incorporate learnings from the COVID-19 swabbing centres.
Minister Donnelly said: “I would like to thank the HSE for their ongoing work in developing these vaccination centres across the country. These centres will be ready well in advance of vaccine supply when they will be used as part of our programme. People can expect to see these vaccination centres ready and waiting in their county.
“We have always said the vaccination programme would only be limited by the availability and reliability of supply in these early stages of the programme. In the coming months, supply will increase substantially and we will see these centres operating to full capacity and administering vaccines to the general population, following the Government priority list.”
