HSE launch official list of priority groups who can receive COVID-19 vaccine first




According to the HSE website, an official priority list for COVID-19 vaccinations has just been released.
As expected, People most at risk from COVID-19 will get the vaccine first.

Are you on the official HSE priority vaccine list?

The first groups to get the COVID-19 vaccine are:
people aged 65 years and older who live in long-term care facilities – they have a greater risk of serious illness if they get COVID-19
frontline healthcare workers – they have a higher risk of being exposed to COVID-19
If you live in a long-term care facility, you will be offered the vaccine there. If you are a healthcare worker, you will be offered the vaccine where you work or nearby.

The vaccine will be offered to more priority groups as soon as possible and people do not need to apply or register to get the vaccine.

The full list is now available on the HSE website here.
