A small minority of the 72,000 people in this age group will have to travel to another doctor’s practice or a special centre. The first will be in Dublin City University (DCU) in Dublin and centres will all be opened in Galway and Cork, according to an email from the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) to GPs late last night. The email said all practices with more than 200 over-70s on their list will receive deliveries through cold chain and operate their vaccination clinics within their own practice premises with the GP practice team. This will operated by GPs, practice nurses and staff who will do sessions and be led by a lead GP to organise rotas and scheduling. Dr McCauley said the deliveries would be staggered, with some GP practices in an area getting them before others.
