We have contacted everyone in our 3rd age cohort for vaccination this Thursday. We will be in touch with you when it is your age cohort, so please watch this website weekly.
On Thursday 01/04/2021 we will be busy vaccinating our 2nd Dose for over 85 year old patients and our 1st dose for 75-79 year old patients. This will be a very busy day and so the following will apply
As you can imagine, this is a big task and one we are very proud to take on, we would appreciate your co-operation in making this Thursday like our previous two clinics a huge success.
Adults with Downs Syndrome are prioritised for COVID-19 Vaccination Allocation Group 4
Most adults (16 and older) with Down Syndrome in Ireland access disability services. There is a small cohort of people with Down Syndrome living in the community who may not access any disability services, approximately 100 adults. If you or a family member fall into this group please contact us and we will give you the relevant pathway for these adults
We are now currently making appointments for our next cohort for Covid Vaccinations. This relates to our patients aged 75-79. If you fall into this category you will receive a letter over the next day or two with your appointment details and all the relevant information needed.
We have been informed by the HSE that our next delivery will be less than expected and as such we don’t know how many patients we can look after in this clinic. As always we will endeavor to vaccinate as many patients as we can, but please be aware we may not be able to vaccinate all in this cohort and as the issue is supply, we have no control over this.
If you do not receive a letter we ask that you fill out the consent form on the previous post and return it to us. If we can’t get you into this next clinic we will prioritise you for the next one. Again we must stress this is purely a supply issue and completely out of our control and as such ask for your patience.
We will be closed Wednesday 17th March due to St Patrick’s Day. If you need medical assistance please contact Northdoc on 1850 22 44 77

The vaccine will be administered in a dedicated vaccine clinic, that will be run alternate Thursday mornings in the practice by our GP’s and Practice Nurse. The clinics will start at 9am, there will be no flexibility in terms of changing the time of your appointment.

All of the above will be done adhering to social distancing, mask wearing and hand hygiene.
As mentioned above your second vaccine will be Thursday four weeks after your first vaccine and you will receive this date on an appointment card when leaving the surgery.
Key Points:
Due to the constraints of the vaccine itself and the timing of our deliveries there is no flexibility in the above system.
Our understanding is that those that are housebound will be cared for via the HSE, please let us know is this applies to you and we will do our best to get you looked after.
We would respectfully ask that you read this very carefully as it includes all the information that will enable you to receive your two doses of vaccine in a safe and timely manner. The phones are very busy with queries so please check our website first, this is updated every Monday by lunchtime.
As mentioned above, we are delighted and honoured to be able to provide our community with this service!
Kind Regards, The team at the Parks Medical Centre

We have placed our order and are awaiting confirmation of the order and scheduled delivery date. The order will be fortnightly and the vaccine clinics will run from here every fortnight but until we know our exact delivery date we cannot confirm this
As soon as we know this, we will be starting with the following cohorts
Patients aged 85+
Patients aged 84-80
Patients aged 79-74
Patients aged 74-70
If you fall into the above cohort, there is no need for you to call the surgery. We will be in touch with you when we know more. It is all subject to the HSE vaccine delivery schedule, however be assured we will be ready to vaccinate as soon as we can.
We are getting inundated with calls regarding the Covid Vaccine. We will keep you informed as this develops. Our phone lines are very busy and are getting quite congested with calls and we thank you for your patience
