Do we know if all or only certain vaccines will be administered in MVCs? Presumably the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will have their stocks tightly controlled for a while to ensure that those in the vulnerable groups can get their second dose within the period, could that mean AZ and J&J (assuming it is approved) being predominantly used in MVCs?

I cant read it properly but can see reference to Anaphylaxis ? Could you read what it asks and write it out for me ?
Thanks in advance

Have you had anaphylaxis (serious systemic allergic reaction requiring medical intervention) following a previous dose of the vaccine or any of its constituents?

How will a medical condition be verified for group 7?

I would imagine a letter from GP or hospital consultant .

Now the German health minister is coming out saying it is perfectly safe and to use it. But they have a choice what to take over there and people are scared from what they read in the papers. Probably means Germany and these other countries will want more Pfizer quantities instead.

Germany has a 750,000 Az gathering dust as the population don't want to use it for some reason. Why don't the government get in touch to take some fro them and get half a million under 65's jabbed

The blurb is for frontline healthcare workers so seems more like group 2 or group 4 for the first users.

Its in private use for ages. The poster asked when will it be live, ie for the public.

Thanks. Few more bits on here as well from a HCW point of view, but similar experience.

This is interesting, pharmacies gearing up for vaccination

I actually spoke with a pharmacist today as part of my course work and got a presentation on the pharmacist’s role in the vaccine rollout. People will register online and be assigned to a pharmacy/GP/MVC depending on their address. The pharmacists are currently being trained however there is some issues at the moment as the PSI are reserving training only for pharmacists with at least a year’s experience doing flu jabs.

I'd imagine the chances are it'll be the AZ vaccines, remembering that about 5% of 65-69 year olds will be turning 70 within 12 weeks (100/(5*4)), the up to 69 age range will be conservative already, and actually probably means that the data up to the average 75-79 year old is good, but this covers people with weaker immune systems for their age, and handles those who turn 70 during the rollout.

They've been dishing out the AZ vaccine to health and social care workers today. We are some distance yet from the 60-70 bracket (probably Pfizer I would guess). Great to see the vaccination numbers finally trend upwards and better news coming on supply. Also the EC seems to be moving more in earnest now to secure + authorise further doses for variant boosters. They just needed that pressure from the beginning from member States.

God thats so cringe

What perplexes me about sputnik is that none of the people calling for us to use it seem to ever say what the availability of it is. I suspect that availability is not great, because I suspect that if it was available in quantities we'd hear about it.

One great big red herring.

Does anyone else m follow the sputnik v twitter account, it's hilarious.

I think putin himself writes the messages on it.

I do think it's an excellent vaccine, (from what we know)

But the propaganda and anti West rhetoric is laughable.

Those figures seem way off. Pfizer BioNtech will be ramping up throughout the quarter. The same for J&J and Astrazeneca. Curevac probably won't have anything in April and I would probably only in small numbers late in the quarter.

Even though many of us were critical of the delayed start (and I still think that was an own goal), you can only judge the Government/HSE on how quickly they have got the vaccines from the arrival of the shipment into people's arms. And they have done a great job so far - other countries have large amounts of vaccine sitting around undistributed.

The raging by some commentators about why we are not doing 24x7 vaccines or vaccinating a million people a week shows either complete ignorance that we are supply constrained or is a deliberate attempt to whip up public anger using misinformation.

I totally agree and don't forget to add to list, the people assuming the HSE would botch up the rollout, as if it was the first time they ran a vaccination campaign.

A lot of true colours being revealed on Twitter at the moment. The journos can't find any red meat and are raging. The government can point to Brussels for the supply issues and most reasonable people have accepted that. So they are resorting to this much-ado-about-nothing 'vaccination centers scandal'.

Question 're the 65-69 age group I was wondering if anyone has some insight as I know someone who is 69 and so I assume would be getting the Oxford\Astra Zeneca jab. However I've been speaking to her and realised that with the 12 week gap between doses she will end up being 70 by the time she is due the second jab. (Which would put her in the category of NPETs advice 're getting the Pfizer instead)

Does anyone have any idea what would be recommended in her case?

I'd imagine the chances are it'll be the AZ vaccines, remembering that about 5% of 65-69 year olds will be turning 70 within 12 weeks (100/(5*4)), the up to 69 age range will be conservative already, and actually probably means that the data up to the average 75-79 year old is good, but this covers people with weaker immune systems for their age, and handles those who turn 70 during the rollout.

Just noticed that the ECDC have updated their Vaccine Tracker dashboard.

It shows Ireland as having administered 291,463 total vaccines.

No data on target groups for Ireland yet.

If that figure is correct up to and including Tuesday, that's a difference of 19,521 indicating almost 10k doses per day so far this week!

Planned vacinations this week are around 80k so yeah will need to be 10k plus most days
