COVID BOOSTER CLINICS - FOR 65 YEARS AND OLDER

The HSE and NIAC ( National Immunisation Advisory Committee ) have now recommended a second booster vaccine for people who are at higher risk from serious COVID-19 illness.

This includes those aged 65 years of age and older.

You can get your second booster at least 4 months (at least 120 days) after your first booster. You can check the date of your first booster on your digital COVID cert.

If you have had COVID-19 since your first booster, wait at least 4 months after you tested positive or from when your symptoms started.

The booster dose supplied by the HSE to Woodview Family Doctors on this occasion is Moderna vaccine- this is an mRNA vaccine as was the Pfizer vaccine administered in the past. It works in the same way as the Pfizer vaccine to provide protection against serious complications of Covid 19 infection.

Woodview Family Doctors are now vaccinating their patients aged 65 years and over who fit the above criteria. Please do not telephone the surgery for an appointment as all appointments must be made on line.

To book an appointment please contact the surgery as the on-line booking portal is now closed.

Vaccines are also available through participating pharmacies and the HSE in Mass Vaccination Centres – this can be done by visiting HSE.ie or phoning HSE live Freephone: 1800 700 700

SOCIAL WELFARE CERTIFICATION

When you telephone to request a Social Welfare Cert it will now be electronically submitted on your behalf directly to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection. When you contact the practice please ensure that you have your PPS number to hand. If you are in receipt of social welfare payment in relation to an existing illness, then please contact the surgery to request your Social Welfare Certificate in the usual manner and we will arrange to submit same on your behalf electronically.

If you are seeking illness benefit due to a Covid-19 case, whether restricting your movements due to having had a COVID19 test (or a household member is having COVID19 testing) and you are unable to go to work you can apply for Illness Benefit for COVID-19 absences. Please note an Illness Benefit application form is available on line for Covid-19 related cases (self isolation or diagnosis) only. Please note that from the 30th April, 2022 you will also require medical certification for claiming your Covid Illness Benefit and you must telephone the surgery to request this Certification of Incapacity for Work.

This online facility is available at the following link: https://services.mywelfare.ie/ If you are claiming Illness Benefit for a new illness, you will need to submit an Ilness Benefit Application (1B1 Form) directly to the Department of Social Protection and your doctor will submit electronically the Certificate of Incapacity for Work on your behalf. You can request an IB1 Form to be sent out to you by phoning 1890 800 024 or by e-mail to forms@welfare.ie Please DO NOT use the practice email address to request Social Welfare Certificates. This is used only for prescription requests only.
