Update on vaccine rollout in our clinic.
Vaccine clinics are unaffected by the HSE cyber attack but routine blood tests this week are postponed and there may be delays receiving results.
Covid test centres operating as walk in, contact GP for advice.

Due to #cyberAttack your GP will have limited access to diagnostics - blood tests , x-ray so please be understanding if we need to defer non urgent investigations and referrals @ICGPnews@gpbuddy
Fab morning of vaccinating in The Helix @DCU - well done to the hubby @knutmoe for running a well oiled machine!
Nearly 2000 high risk patients vaccinated inside 4 hours, we are getting there! Can feel Dublin buzzing again!

We have updated our Covid Vaccine information page regarding the vaccine rollout in our practice.
We will have some involvement with Cohort 4 where not available through hospital and more involvement with Cohort 7 when we finish with Cohort 3 in May.

Category 4 for vaccine is causing confusion. GPs are not involved in this group. Hospitals are inviting patients. Can @hselive and hospitals please be clear on this and stop telling people to ring their GP. We have no say in this group. @paulreiddublin
Looking forward to vaccinating our over 85s this week. In preparation we have put an information page on the over 70s vaccine process on our website:

Another +ve Covid case in practice this week. Difference this time is they were in my surgery room for 5 mins before they mentioned in passing having symptoms. Consultation ended immediately; sent for testing; lo & behold a +ve result 1/
Lots of happy kids and adults in getting their flu vaccines today, could do hundreds more each day except for limited supply at present, hopefully will improve soon.
Great to see the enthusiasm from patients for flu injection and new children’s nasal flu vaccine this year!
Since 6th of July, average case per respondent hovering around 0.5 - holding steady for 3 weeks.Good news & 🤞 a sign that all our efforts around mask-wearing,social distancing, respiratory etiquette & staycationing working. Remember, isolate if you have symptoms & call your GP!
Public service announcement thread:
1- If asked when contacting your GP Practice if you have any respiratory/infection symptoms (cough, fever congestion etc), please don’t say no and then tell the GP about them when you’re in their office.
Covid is still around and you are 1/
