COVID-19 VACCINATION

The HSE plans to distribute Covid Vaccination via GP Surgeries to patients aged 70 years and over. It is anticipated that this roll-out will begin in late February 2021. This is entirely dependent on the availability of supply from the manufacturers

​

INITIAL DELIVERIES OF VACCINE
Due to this uncertainty it is unlikely that the initial deliveries will be sufficient to cover all over 70s in the first instance. Therefore a hierarchy has been determined by the HSE. The vaccine will first be offered to those aged 85 and over, then to those aged 80-84 years, 75-79 and so on as supply becomes available. Age is the only criteria for vaccine distribution in this phase of the roll-out as determined by the government.

​

Patients in the over 70 category can only receive the vaccine from their GMS registered GP. The vaccine will not be available from Pharmacies or other GPs than your own GP. 

​

It is also important to note that there is no 'List' for vaccination. Once the practice receives vaccines we will contact you to organise your Covid vaccination.

​

Further details will be announced when this information is known as this situation is rapidly evolving
