Then at the last minute they got 7 more elderly people, and 2 more HSE workers, and 5 spare change.

Each vial contains at least the number of doses stated. It is normal for liquid to remain in the vial after withdrawing the final dose. ‘When low dead volume syringes and/or needles are used, the amount remaining in the vial may be sufficient for an additional dose.’

My original thought it who cares, if anyone is genuinely shocked by someone in a position of authority prioritising those closest to them then they are dangerously naïve. I'd do the same if I was in his position and there were spare or excess vaccines under my control. Everyone should be vaccinated anyway so this is a hub bub about nothing for those who like to blame certain political parties for everything. Which you clearly do....

If they were going to run out why did they order so many or give them to more deserving cases. Sackable offence for Donnolly and the staff members involved. No wonder the rollout will takes ages:(

And the idea that somebody cannot become a healthcare worker because a relative is receiving healthcare? WTF?
