Childhood Immunisations

At Slievemore Clinic, we offer a comprehensive childhood vaccination service to all, from the age of two months.

Vaccinations are carried out by the Practice Nurse Lita Griffin. Appointments can be made with her each morning from 08.00-13.00 or on Monday afternoon between the hours of 14.30 and 16.45.

If you are unsure whether your baby is fit for vaccination you can contact us at the clinic for advice. Minor illness such as head cold or cough is not a reason to defer vaccination but if your baby has a temperature we would usually reschedule.
