Really? These people have ears you know and can read and also vote.

So group 6 starts today with the portal and group 7 to start late April / early May

Imagine being offered a vaccine that offers close to 100% protection against severe disease, a disease that would kill over 2% of them, and a vaccine with a minuscule adverse reaction rate in their age group. How awful for them

Paul Reid confirms that we received the first J&J delivery of 14,000 doses and they're in storage

Acting CMO has given HSE clarification on NIAC advice - AZ not to be given to anyone under 60 despite NIAC letter referencing cases where benefits outweigh risks

Shame really but it's done now. Get on with it now HSE

As I posted in response to you earlier, a 60 year old with no underlying conditions has:

- a 1 in 12,000 chance of dying from Covid
- a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of dying from a clot after the AZ vaccine.

Covid is 83 times more likely to kill you.

Yep - I think it's getting forgotten here that 69 year olds are 'far' more concerned about contracting Covid-19 than having any worries about the AstraZeneca vaccine. Also, they've nearly been prisoners in their own homes for over a year.

I've no idea how we're getting 80% of people done by end of June if the plan has us still doing group 7 by early June.

1400 housebound done to date.

Most of Cohort 3 completed by end of Week of 19th.

It's first doses by end of june, not fully vaccinated. Groups run concurrently.

My husband got the call this morning from his GP, he's 50 with type 2 diabetes and he'll be vaccinated first dose of Pfizer end of next week. We're in Wicklow.
I am so relieved

I think it might be time to make your username a reality!

I suppose he could confirm that when his time comes, he'll be getting AZ?

The Taoiseach has confirmed he will register on the portal when his age is reached. I know this view will be unpopular but I think all the cabinet should have been vaccinated early on as high priority.

At a guess, this would suggest the vaccination of the healthy under 60s will start some time in mid to late May.

funnydoggy

If registration happens at weekends (which I'm sure it will, it's just a site linked to a database), I'll be registering in around 40~ days (late 20s/early 30s). Nice one!

Oh I know, but if they move to spreading the doses for Pfizer, it seems they're only looking at that for non vulnerable so all of group 4 and 7 will be working on the 3 week basis so all those 2nd doses will be needed through May and June too. I know we're expected to get a lot in June but we'd likely needing to be vaccinating a good 50k a day that month based on that plan. I'm assuming the 59 and younger normal risk crowd won't really start until late May

Ya, I'd be thinking 3rd week of May they might be registering the 50-59 group unless there's any major changes with supply.

If supply was at current levels I'd agree but it's increasing exponentially so I don't think that'll be the case

That's my assumption too, though it could even be as soon as mid May, depending on how many vaccines are arriving into the country.

I would love to not hear that term again, but I'm doing software development and there's a statistics module coming up next year.. :D:pac:

The plan currently doesn't include the extra 540k doses from Pfizer/BioNtech or any doses from J&J. We need 1 of them in the plan to achieve the target.

It'll be interesting to see at what point there's a bottleneck in administrating them then. There's going to be a bottleneck at some point so be interesting what that point is. I think based on that plan, June will have to be doing a lot of vaccines.

ACitizenErased

HSE confirm people in 60s to have first dose by end of May, plan works so that 80% have first dose end of June. This is possible because most deliveries are backended.

ACitizenErased

Paul Reid expects cohort 4 to be completed (i assume first doses) by mid May

OT but statistics is grand.

Dunno if you do Discrete Maths but that's a ball breaker.

So Discrete you'll never see ever again when done.
