    Why would they wait till after the vaccine arrives to train?

    Could be any number of reasons. The fact that it arrived on Stephen's Day could have something to do with it. There may be dummy training materials to be used that arrived with the delivery. So perhaps training couldn't go ahead until it arrived.

    Also, you wouldn't want to be training people before Christmas and then and then having to wait a few weeks before the vaccine is administered after Christmas.

    Are we really only doing it 5 days a week too? They constantly tell us Covid doesn’t take holidays or some sh1te. It should be 7 days a week when the big deliveries start arriving.

    Should be 24/7.

    I'm really struggling to understand why we appear to be the only EU country that isn't starting to vaccinate today. It's extraordinary.

    It really is. Serious questions need to be asked. It's simply not good enough.

    The rest of Europe has managed it. Who do you think is wrong, us or everyone else?

    One more person here who is wondering why start after almost everyone else?

    And what on earth is the justification for not vaccinating 7 days a week in dedicated vaccination centres. There have been months to get everything ready.

    Even Bulgaria with the most incompetent public service you can imagine managed to start today.

    So you want to take people who are high risk out of care homes and mix them all together in a vaccination centre rather than bring the vaccine to them??

    If only we had an impartial national broadcaster, not concerned by future Government funding to bail them out, to ask some basic questions about the justification for the vaccine rollout delay, forecasting of numbers, 7-day-week rollout, lack of training prior to rollout etc.

    If only .....

    No you can't do online training or virtual training for vaccinations ffs.

    No panic or rush, we start Wednesday. No big deal. Everyone getting their knickers in a twist because it's not today. It's a Sunday remember and public service like weekends off etc. So some training Monday and Tuesday and vaccinate on Wednesday. Then the usual weekends off. It's really not that hard to understand.

    Excuses excuses excuses.

    Other countries have hit the ground running. Once again our health body is shown up for laziness and incompetence at a strategic level.

    Every hour of every day counts.

    Does this mean it’s no longer possible to see how many people have died here compared to previous years?

    Is that what they're doing in the rest of Europe?
    I'm sure they're medical professionals.

    Do you think that's what other countries do today?? Nope, plans ready and medical personnel ready to vaccinate.

    What do we have? Plenty of time..

    Hundreds of thousands forced out of employment, arra we'll sit on our holes administering the vaccine and drag out the economic recovery. Why operate seven days a week like other European countries, nah five is enough and never mind your 24 hour service. People with mortgages to pay and families to support, at the mercy of a lackadaisical HSE. God help them.

    Big jump in hospitalisations in the last 24 hours, reminiscent of what we regularly saw back in March.
    Hopefully just a result of a single large outbreak or something, rather than what we can expect to see on a daily basis.

    If someone told you in March that come Christmas Day we'd have 80k cases and 2k deaths with level 1 restrictions you'd have taken it to the bank. The reality is that everything beyond level 1 introduced by nephet have done f*** all with open borders. Suck it up.

    NPHET have nothing to do with border control policy. That is a political decision. As has been said many. many times - NPHET recommend actions, what actually happens afterwards is a result of poltical negotiations between the various parties in power and sometimes even internally between their own parties )back bench pressure - attacks on rural Ireland, leave my constituency alone! etc).

    It apparently is a result of the democratic process.

    Honestly don't worry about it

    You do know we get over a million hospital attendances per year?

    31 across the country is nothing

    Seriously some people need to work in a hospital for a while to get some perspective

    None of these numbers are the end of the world, but an increasing trend is unsustainable.

    As for the vaccination, some greater urgency wouldn't be any harm, but the availability of vaccines will determine the ultimate rate of vaccination, not the rotas in the HSE.
