Not yet. It is in Portugal, but no laws drawn up here. In hindsight, we should have known some Irish people would try to skip the queue.

Their statement just says lessons have been learned... I.e. no consequences.

Oh i imagine the HSE and Gardai will step in so . Its out and out theft

They should be struck off, no different to bringing hospital drugs home. Disgusting abuse of their position.

It's fraud! End of. Property of the HSE. To be given in HSE specific facilities. Giving at home also negates the HSE guidance regarding waiting period of 15 mins for anaphylaxis +/- resuscitation equipment (albeit, rare ++).

On a broader level, it shows a complete lack of clinical governance. Potentially, the CEO/clinical director will have to go although it being the HSE. This probably won't happen. They'll be shuffled into academia.

Would there have been issue with transport also - seeing as it would have been the Pfizer vaccine and afaik doses had to be dumped in Germany after someone brought them up a stairs.

Two vaccines brought home, more details needed on what exactly was brought home - a full vial, remnants of vials, made up vaccine etc, what stage of refrigeration. Could it be that these two doses were in fact wasted by bringing them home.

Meanwhile, we still have significant numbers of very elderly/vulnerable housebound people waiting on their first dose of the vaccine because of the logistical difficulties of getting it to them/them to it.

So much wrong with this story. Consultant brings vaccines home to administer to family members - he is referred to as Consultant B. A member of the public breaks travel restrictions - he is named in the national media.

Comical. Bringing vaccines home to get the wife and kids sorted while people in much greater need are overlooked.

The medical community in Ireland are really letting themselves down.

How do you know the wife doesn't have an underlying condition?

One would argue that a doctor would be essential in this pandemic. If the family gets sick or suffers a bereavement that would mean the doctor would be out on leave. A doctors family should be considered for vaccination. A doctor is only human too and a family could have any number of health conditions too.

Why do you think it's ok to break protocols?

Why do you think a doctor's wife, if seriously at risk with an underlying condition, wouldn't receive a vaccine in due course as part of the high risk cohorts?

Oh FFS are you for real? The doctor should be struck off. The vaccines belong to the nation not the doctor.

Just realised it is April Fools day.

You seem to worry inordinately about the health of people and their families who received vaccines out of turn, but don't seem to give two fooks about the people who are way ahead of them in the queue because of their sicknesses and who didn't get the vaccine.

Another thing that bothers me about the vaccines administered at home is the following: I thought that there was a proviso by the medical council that people couldn’t treat their own family. Furthermore, if the family had a severe anaphylaxis (as somebody who carries an epipen, I know how serious this is) at home, in the absence of the necessary provisions, it could have proved catastrophic. That consultant not only acted in a corrupt fashion, but exposed their own family to a very serious risk

No rule against it, it’s just not strictly encouraged as no impartiality so most docs don’t. But that’s not the issue here. 1) it wasn’t theirs to take 2) the National group “prescription” doesn’t cover anyone out side the strict category 3) Pfizer not supposed to move once resconstituted...

But also great to see in social media and here that everyone still assumes all consultants are male....it’s mostly women in lots of hospitals now. So might have been a hub and at home etc etc

Just imagine this was a less senior clinician, nurse, pharmacist. Just imagine.

I agree, they would never have even suggested they get the two doses never mind be let
