COVID 19 Booster Vaccinations - Update For All Patients

GPs and their Teams have delivered very successful vaccination programmes for many years and have made a phenomenal contribution to the COVID Vaccination Programme.  The most recent phase of GPs participation in vaccination was the Flu Vaccine Campaign and COVID Booster Programme - which Calderwood Family Clinic has completed.

COVID-19 BOOSTER VACCINATIONS – UPDATE FOR ALL PATIENTS

In line with national public health advice, the HSE will provide a Covid-19 booster vaccine for all patients aged 50 and over in the coming weeks. Please note:

• Patients aged 80 and over have already been contacted by the practice for their Covid-19 booster, and the majority have received their vaccine. If you are in this age group and you have not yet received your booster, please go to a walk in clinic or book in with a participating pharmacy or wait to be contacted by the HSE.

• Patients aged 18 to 50 years with an underlying condition, who received their primary Covid-19 vaccines (Dose 1 and 2) here in the practice have already been contacted by the practice for their Covid-19 booster, and the majority have received their vaccine. If this applies to you and you have not yet received your booster, please go to a walk in clinic or book in with a participating pharmacy or wait to be contacted by the HSE.

• Calderwood Family Clinic is no longer administering COVID 19 booster vaccinations.

We will not receive vaccines for patients outside of these two groups.

• Patients aged 50 and over who received their primary Covid-19 vaccines (single Dose or Dose 1 and 2) in HSE vaccination centres, will be invited back to a HSE vaccination centre for their booster dose.
