Mary has received an update from the Minister for Health announcing the nationwide vaccine centres.

In Dublin Central, TU campus at Grangegorman will be a centre, along with DCU in Santry, Aviva Stadium and Citywest Hotel & Convention centre.

The 37 centres have been confirmed by the HSE, with at least one in every county. These centres will support the vaccination of the general population in a safe and efficient manner. While currently vaccines are being administered in healthcare settings and by GPs, many people will be offered their vaccination in these centres, having self-registered online.

All of the centres vary in size and operating hours and have been selected based on population density, ease of access, transport and parking. The design and layout of the centres also incorporates learnings from the COVID-19 swabbing centres. It is important to note that the centres will be of different sizes and operating hours will be based on vaccine supply and catchment area need.
