Third Booster vaccination Program 

It’s that time of year again.
We are hoping to have clinics up and running for flu vaccines as soon as we have a delivery date. We will be sending out  reminder texts to those who got it last year. If you don’t get a text please call the surgery  after the 29th of September for an appointment with the Practice Nurse.
If you are unsure if you are entitled to a free flu vaccine please click on the HSE link below.

Winter is coming and with it is all the usual tummy bugs and colds.

Winter is a  very busy time here in the surgery as you can imagine so I have a few HSE website links  to help you navigate all the winter bugs this year.

Of course the Doctors and Nurses are always available for appointments if you need any further advise.

People aged 55 and over and pregnant women more than 16 weeks are now being invited to make an appointment for their next booster vaccine against COVID-19.

From Thursday 18th August, those in the age cohort will be able to make an appointment on the HSE website hhtps://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/get-the-vaccine/booking/

We will not be running a vaccine clinic for this group.

People aged 50-54 will be offered their second booster vaccine from next week and people with long term health conditions will be offered booster vaccines shortly.

Just a reminder that face masks are still recommended in healthcare settings.

We would ask that all patients remember to bring a face mask to your appointment and to sanitise hands and wear your mask when entering the surgery.

This is to keep staff and patients safe as COVID 19 cases are continuing to rise again.

We would like to thanks you in advance for your cooperation.

COVID-19 2nd Booster vaccine age 50-66

Unfortunately due to the work load involved we will not be participating in this roll out of the vaccine.

We will still be finishing the 65+ age group and the immunosuppressed over the next coming weeks in very small clinics due to vaccine supply.

You can get your booster through the HSE portal (click below)

or

at a participating pharmacy (click below)

We are closed from 1pm on Friday 15th April until 9am Tuesday 19th April for the Bank holiday weekend.

For emergencies between these hours please call NEDOC at 1850 777 911

Second Booster vaccination Program 

To maintain high levels of immunity in those most at risk of severe disease a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine has been recommended by NIAC/HSE for the following:

• Those aged 65 and over
• those aged 12 and over who are immunocompromised

The second booster is recommended at least 6 months after the first booster or 6 months after COVID 19 infection.

We will be running clinics for this vaccine roll out from as soon as we are notified of a start date.

Please call/email reception to leave your name if you are interested in receiving this or contact the HSE to book in with them.
