The HSE has committed to improve the timing of confirmation notices to GPs in relation to order numbers and delivery dates for vaccine doses.
It accepted that 48 hours is not sufficient for clinics to appropriately plan. The HSE, which was responding to concerns raised by GPs and the Irish Medical Organisation, said once confirmation of a delivery is received by a GP there will be no change to delivery dates or requirements.
It outlined a range of "enhanced arrangements" related to its GP vaccination programme, including an increased allocation of staff to the GP Vaccines Team.
Dedicated relationship managers have also been appointed along with the establishment of a regular communications bulletin for GPs.
