An Ennis GP believes practitioners having to vaccinate people over 70 for COVID-19 outside of their surgeries will not be a problem for the rollout of the jab.
Locations where multiple GPs can vaccinate over 70s are now being looked at by the HSE, as the Pfizer and Moderna jabs are more difficult to store.
It’s been advised that people in that age group should get the Pfizer or Moderna jab, rather than the AstraZeneca one, due to a lack of current available data on its efficacy for older people.

Ennis GP Dr Maire Finn believes while smaller practices may face more significant issues, the rollout can still succeed as planned.
