We have been advised there is an expected delay in vaccines arriving in Northern Ireland.  We are not expecting covid vaccines to arrive until mid October at the earliest.  Once delivered the Practice will have a further delay on 5 working days for delivery to the Practice.  Due to the complexities of organising a large scale vaccine programme we are unable to commence our vaccinations until the end of October or early November is is later than usual. We apologise for the delay.  However, this is beyond our control an we thank you for your patience and understanding.
