COVID-19

What are the symptoms of Covid 19?

DO NOT ATTEND If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (coronavirus), self-isolate (stay in your room) and get a COVID-19 test.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are:

  • fever (high temperature - 38 degrees Celsius or above) - including having chills
  • dry cough
  • fatigue (tiredness)

Less common symptoms of COVID-19 include:

  • loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this could mean they're completely gone or just different to normal
  • nasal congestion (runny or blocked nose)
  • conjunctivitis (also known as red eyes)
  • sore throat
  • headache
  • muscle or joint pain (aches and pains)
  • different types of skin rash
  • nausea or vomiting
  • diarrhoea
  • chills or dizziness

All work certificates/requests for letters and private prescriptions have to be paid for in advance.  If you wish to pay online email the practice at [email protected] and you will be sent a link to pay.

We are conducting an audit on patient registration details to ensure we have up to date contact details for patients and their next of kin; please use the abbreviated registration form and email it to [email protected] if you are aged over 16 to amend/update your information. If you wish to update contact information for your child/children please email the surgery and the appropriate form will be sent by return email. This is only for registered patients of Lakeside Family Practice (formerly Johns Green and Loughboy Medical Centres).

Vaccination

Attending for baby’s 1st vaccine

Baby’s 1st vaccine can be an emotional experience for mum especially if this is your first baby. Please come early, bring Calpol and tissues and dress the baby in loose clothing. DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER YOUR BABY FOR THEIR GP VISIT CARD.

If you are travelling to another country:
Babies age 6 to 11 months can get an MMR vaccine before travelling to another country. You can get the vaccine for free from your GP. Try to get the vaccine at least 2 weeks before you travel.

Babies under age 6 months cannot get the MMR vaccine. But they still have any protection that was passed on during pregnancy.

If your baby gets an MMR vaccine before age 12 months, this does not change the regular vaccination schedule. This means they still need to get the doses at age:

  • 12 months;
  • 4 to 5 years (in junior infants).
