Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 March 2021
173. Deputy Verona Murphy asked the Minister for Health if a person (details supplied) has been included in the group 4 listing of the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out; the location at which the vaccine will be administered to the person; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16023/21]
View answerDirections have been issued by the HSE to all hospitals, both public and private, to identify eligible patients for vaccination within Cohort 4. If they meet the criteria and are under the care of a hospital then they will be contacted via that hospital.
Where patients are no longer under hospital care, the HSE has engaged with General Practices (GPs) to identify that group within Cohort 4.
The vaccination rollout for cohort 4 is only currently limited by the ongoing identification of eligible clients by Hospitals and GP practices as outlined above and by the availability of vaccines.
Those eligible within Cohort 4 will be called for their appointment as soon as possible.
