If you have not previously received it, the Pneumococcal vaccine is also recommended for those who are 65 or over, or have a long term medical condition and protects against pneumonia. If you have a ‘Medical Card’ or ‘GP Visit Card’ both vaccines are free, otherwise each vaccine is €30.00.
If you have any queries or wish to call to make an appointment, please call the practice on 01-4942286. If you require a routine consultation in addition to your vaccination, please let us know at the time of booking.
