COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics
We are currently vaccinating all patients over the age of 70 years.
As of 15th April 2021, the HSE have advised us that all patients between the ages of 60- 69 will be vaccinated in the HSE-led COVID-19 Vaccination Centres. This applies to all patients in this age group, irrespective of whether or not you have an underlying health condition. If you are in this group, please register for your vaccine on the HSE website as directed. You can access the HSE website vaccination portal by clicking here.
In May and June, we will vaccinate Very High Risk (Group 4) and High Risk (Group 7) patients between the ages of 18 - 59. Patients who are registered with the practice, and who have any of the conditions listed below, are invited to contact the practice and register for our Group 4 and Group 7 COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics. Please note, even if you are not eligible for vaccination in these clinics, the HSE have reassured us that most adults will likely be offered a vaccine in a HSE-led COVID-19 Vaccination Centres by the end of June. We therefore ask for your patience at this time.

A comprehensive list of all the conditions included in Groups 4 and 7 is available on the HSE website.
If you have any of the above conditions, please contact the practice to register for our Group 4 and Group 7 COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics.
Please note, patients who register who do not meet the eligibility criteria will not be offered a vaccine. These patients, however, will likely be offered a vaccine in a HSE-led COVID-19 Vaccination Centre by the end of June.
If you register and are eligible to receive a vaccine in one of our Group 4 and Group 7 COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics, we will contact you 1-2 days before your appointment. Please be advised that vaccination is not guaranteed even if you register and are eligible. This is because vaccine supply is not guaranteed. We therefore would like to encourage Group 4 and Group 7 patients to accept earlier invitations for vaccination elsewhere, should they receive them.
