A breakdown of the HSE's Nursing Homes draft vaccinations schedule has been published by the Sunday Independent newspaper.
There are 583 nursing homes in Ireland, and the widespread roll-out of vaccinations to all sites will begin on January 11th, with a soft roll-out to a small number of nursing homes beginning on January 4th.
The first vaccinations in nursing homes in Waterford will take place on January 18th, according to the draft schedule.
Two vaccination teams will administer the two-dose vaccine to all 14 residential facilities in the county starting with St Joseph's hospital in Dungarvan and finishing on the 29th with St Carthages House and Dunabbey House.
It takes 12 minutes to administer the vaccine.

Meanwhile, the first vaccinations against Covid-19 will be given to medical staff and older patients across four acute hospitals, according to the paper.
The first inoculation will take place on Wednesday at St James' Hospital in Dublin.
Vaccinations will also be administered that day at Beaumont Hospital, Galway University Hospital and Cork University Hospital.
