There were smiles all round last week at Bayview Family Practice in Ballyshannon as over 200 people from South Donegal and North Sligo received their Covid-19 vaccines.
For the purpose of vaccination, GPs who have less than 200 patients on the Over 70 age category will be assisted in buddying up with a larger practice in the area.
In this way, the small patient numbers from one practice will attend at the larger practice for vaccination.
In this case, Dr. Ide Leddy s practice in Moneygold, Grange, was linked up with Bayview Family Practice to allow the over 85s to receive their vaccination.
Vaccination is well underway here in the North-West in large practices, Dr. Conor Mitchell of Bayview Family Practice told The Sligo Champion.
