Baby Vaccinations
The practice provides the full range of baby vaccinations, which are free under the Childhood Immunisation Scheme. We strongly believe that baby vaccinations are essential to protect children from serious childhood infection. For that reason, we encourage all our families to have their children vaccinated, and we do not provide single vaccinations for MMR, etc. If you have any concerns around vaccinating your baby, we would be happy to discuss these with you.
Comprehensive information about all vaccines provided by the HSE can be found at www.immunisation.ie.

Important Info
Covid-19 (Jan 2021)
We are experiencing unprecedented demand for our services. Please be patient - we will get to your query as quickly as possible. If you are concerned about your health, please book a telephone consultation with the GP.
If you are concerned you may have Covid-19 and need testing, please self-isolate and phone the surgery - you will be triaged for a doctor callback. Please have your Eircode and PPSN to hand.
There is no walk-in service. Even if you are just calling to collect prescriptions / certs, please phone in advance. Telephone consults are available (€50 fee for same). If the doctor feels you need a face-to-face consult, this will be arranged.
Please see the Health Info Tab above for general Covid-19 advice.
Covid Vaccination
We expect to begin vaccinating patients with the Astra Zeneca vaccine from late Feb / early March, once it is available. We will start with patients over 80 yrs of age, as per the Government priority list, which is available here: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/39038-provisional-vaccine-allocation-groups/

Repeat Prescriptions
There is a 48 hour turnaround for repeat prescriptions, letters etc. More complicated forms will take longer. An emergency 7 day supply of medication can usually be obtained from the pharmacy if needed.
