Patient Vaccination Programme: Cohort 4

We have started vaccinating our patients who are within the group 4 category of people aged 16-69 and who are considered to be at very high risk of Covid-19. Please see the link to the HSE website where you will find more details on the group 4 category of patients. If you are in any of these categories your hospital team will begin contacting you from Monday 29th March to make arrangements for you to receive your vaccine.

We have a significant number of patients who are in category 4 and who attend specialist services here in St. Vincent’s University Hospital so it will take us time to get to everyone but we will contact you as soon as possible to give you an appointment. Vaccines will be administered in the Aviva Stadium Vaccination Centre which will greatly assist us in getting everyone vaccinated as quickly as possible. Please bear with us while we make the necessary arrangements and thank you for your patience.

Please note that patients may get a call from a private number (displayed as ‘no caller ID’) to schedule their vaccines. All callers will identify themselves as staff members when contacting patients and it is important that, if we leave a message, patients call us back if asked to do so.
