============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

People who might currently be in hospital but also avail of home care packages will receive the vaccine when they return home. A person must be in the same setting between 22 and 28 days in order to receive the second dose of the vaccine. An older person who is in hospital today, for example, but due to be released at the end of the week, will not receive the vaccine in the hospital setting. He or she will receive it while in their home setting.
