Children’s Health
We have time for your children. We will always accommodate children in need of immediate medical attention. We aim to provide an environment that is accessible, friendly and helpful where parents can bring their children for a medical opinion, advice and treatment.
Our staff are widely experienced in dealing with children’s needs. Our doctors and practice nurse are all paediatrically trained.
Child Immunisation
Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way of protecting babies and children against certain diseases. The risks from having these diseases are far greater than the risk of any minor side effects from immunisation.
In Ireland, all the recommended immunisations listed in the primary childhood immunisation schedule are free and can be found on the HSE Primary Childhood Immunisation Schedule.
In order to receive their first childhood vaccinations, children must first be reviewed by a doctor in the Clinic. This is very often done at the 6 week post-natal check-up. Following the review the parents can make an appointment with the practice nurse to receive their immunisations from 2 months of age.
Before your child is immunised the nurse will check with you that your child is well and able to get the vaccines. If you have any worries or questions about your child’s immunisation ask the nurse prior to you child being immunised.

Child Vaccinations
In addition to the HSE immunisation schedule we offer other childhood vaccines.
Varicella (Chicken Pox)
Chickenpox is a common illness that most children catch at some point. It is caused by a virus called Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) which is highly contagious. Sufferers are infectious from 2 days before the rash starts until all the blisters have crusted over, which is usually about 6 days later.
There is a vaccine to protect against Chickenpox called Varivax. It is about 98% effective at preventing Chickenpox. Varivax contains a small amount of the live weakened VZV which causes your immune system to produce antibodies that will help protect against Chickenpox. The vaccine is given in two doses 4-8 weeks apart.
Meningitis B
There is a vaccine called Bexsero which protects against Meningitis B infection. It has been included on the HSE childhood immunisation schedule for all children born after 1st Oct 2016. For those born before that date it can be purchased privately. The schedule ranges from 2-3 doses as a primary course with a possible booster depending on the age of the child.
