Vaccination is the most important thing you can do to protect your community against serious illnesses. When enough people get vaccinated, it’s harder for a disease to spread to those who can’t have vaccines.
We know many people are interested in the COVID-19 vaccination and want to assure you that we are working through a priority list set by the Department of Health. Please do not contact your GP about getting the vaccine. We will contact patients in order of priority.
Do you know what your Health and Care number is? Your Health and Care number (HCN) is a 10 digit number to identify and match you to your health records.
When you book your COVID-19 vaccination, you will be asked for your HCN. Click here for a video which shows you where you can find your HCN.
The Gables Medical Centre website provides online facilities we hope our patients find useful.
