WIT Arena confirmed as location of Waterford's mass vaccination centre

The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has confirmed the locations of 37 mass vaccination centres across Ireland, with at least one in every county.
While vaccines are currently being administered in healthcare settings and GP surgeries, many people will be offered their vaccination in these centres after self-registering online.
The Department of Health said that all of the centres have been selected based on population density, ease of access, transport and parking.
Each will vary in size and operating hours, which will be based on vaccine supply and catchment area need.
The design and layout of the centres will incorporate learnings from the Covid-19 swabbing centres, the Department added.
The WIT Arena at Carriganore on the outskirts of Waterford has been confirmed as the centre for Waterford.
In a statement, 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.”
