They were posting very low numbers of deaths in the last couple of days....

A huge number was predictable...

Sadly loads of that 93 will be care home residents and weeks or days away for vaccines. Not sure where the 2001 cases came from should be well under 2000 today

I was talking about the hospitalisation figures earlier.

Is there a link to that ? I thought all vaccines had the observation period. Even the flu jab has it, although it’s probably not strictly policed tbf.

I don't think it's 15 mins with the flu jab tbf, or if it is, I've never been kept that long. For me, it's like 1-2 mins maybe after

Private testing adding to positive swabs? Was like this as well yesterday..
or is that backlog still around..

You’d have six jabs easily done in 5 minutes. Not like they’re going to jab someone and wait 15 minutes before the next injection.

As I said if this is the big national emergency that we’re being told for the last 10 months.
They should be just told they are doing it or bye bye practitioner licence

So now it's 6 jabs every 5 mins, 72/hr.
Have you listened to yourself?
You expecting a conveyer belt to be in operation?

Nice money. I'd imagine with a bit of organising you'd do ten per hour, possibly more?

Doesn't matter in this context. I don't care if it's trained publicans or republicans giving the jab at this stage,

I think you’ll find they probably will.

As for losing their licence, dream on.

91 million deal for GPs and pharmacists to administer the vaccines.
Disgraceful €60 per head. Ridiculous fee.
If this is a National emergency they should be told their administrating the vaccine or their licence to practice will be withdrawn.

This on top of a €30 fee for every person they’ve referred for a test.

It’s a great little country we’re living in.

Nothing like a bit of totalitarianism every now and then.

The state of that post. Christ almighty.

It is in theory. Think it varies on where you go to whether it's done in practice. Just on off chance someone has a negative reaction to it.

It's MHRA guidance, EMA might advise different but reports from UK indicate there have been no serious allergic reactions reported and generally with vaccines the other common risk is people fainting which normally happens within minutes. For particularly vulnerable people I'm sure GPs and pharmacists will want to make sure they are okay but for a lot of people check and confirm details, jab, and go should be relatively straightforward hopefully.

Last flu jab I got before Christmas, I had to wait the 15mins.

Agreed. That type of pollyanism is disrespectful and distasteful.

Months of lockdown to go because of a few weeks of christmas sh1te....

It will be a conveyor belt for some. Handy money.

Just saying if you had all set up ready to go 6 arms in 5 minutes would be no problem.

Why would they wait, I got the flu vaccine lately and because it was my first time I had to wait around for 15 minutes. They still continued vaccinating other people while I waited.

seamus · 19-01-2021 07:06PM

11.5% of all our Covid deaths have been reported in the last 7 days.

I fear the worst of these numbers is not yet past us.

Meanwhile, the Government is expected to complete a review of the current Covid-19 restrictions at next Tuesday's Cabinet meeting.

The current restrictions run until 31 January but look certain to be extended.

If only they were vaccinated in December when the government said they would start

I hope the Christmas meet ups and gatherings was worth it

Then where do you have them wait? 18 people in a waiting room every 15 minute? Recipe for disaster.

I suppose when it's your GP and you've had ones nearly every year going back, they probably know whether you're likely to have a reaction

Arghus · 19-01-2021 07:09PM

Unfortunately numbers like this will be an occurance for a while. We had ludicrous case numbers, that will eventually be reflected in deaths, even if there's a lag.

Sorry Dr...

Have you ever heard of putting your shoulder to the wheel.

In a time of crisis all options should be considered.

We can’t afford to drag it out. We need this to end ASAP.

If they are dying now, chances are they caught it before the vaccine was even approved, but nice attempt at point scoring.......

I know it sounds ridiculous but it's often a bit of bureaucracy and over cautiousness that slows this kind of thing down. Burkino Faso dished out 11 million vaccines in 10 days once, it was pretty much a conveyor belt.

I'm sure once India have decent supply you will see how quick these things can be done.

Because it’s a completely new vaccine and the scrutiny they’ll be under were anything to go wrong. Maybe they won’t who knows.

Regardless, logistically there’s no way a GP (or the vast majority of them) will have the ability to operate a conveyor belt like system - where do people wait both before and after in a socially distanced manner ? Where do they park ? What about the normal patients ? It’s just not going to work that way IMO.

I'm sorry, your not going to have a single GP be able to vaccinate 72 people an hour. Have some sense.

If they set up MVCs then yeah, the actual jab is a 60 second process, because processing and aftercare will be separate sections, but it's not feasible in a gp office or pharmacy.
