The US is opening up to the vaccinated - wonder when they’ll let the Irish back in?

If they do let us in at all, when they have the masses inoculated and Ireland completes theirs, i’d say a travel corridor maybe opened. Possible end of year. Who knows…. It wouldn’t surprise me if they look for proof of vaccination at entry. Could be wrong though

I suppose data on transmission will be key, maybe proof of vaccine and negative PCR.

Hard data : supposedly from the paul reid interview

1.2 million doses by end Q1

Means we will see 1,200,000-(166382+312990) =720,628 vaccines delivered by the end of the month ? its 8 march already .... unless its magic fairies on past numbers we'd need to over double feb's deliveries.... no doubt I will quote this post in 3 weeks time with eating of hat

Apparently astra zenaca are playing "we said we would get your vaccine in q1 we didn't say when in q1 you would get it" and promising massive delivery on 31 March so they can say they met their targets.

Its not going to be 1.2 million vaccines in arms.

Fergal Bowers at the press conference now "why did we order more vacines than needed for our population".... jesus wept.

Whoever is chairing that meeting should have walked down and given him an open handed slap across the face.

What kind of moron would ask that.....

Because we didn't know if any vaccine would work.

I am well aware. AZ have missed their targets several times ( as pointed out by Stephen Donnelly in the Dail last Thursday).


Based on past performance I don't see any evidence they will make the 720,000 delivery target for march. Which is disappointing. But if they do, happy days. As I pointed out up thread its averaging 6-7 days from delivery to shot which can only come down.

Italy have signed a deal to produce the sputnik vaccine. Interesting times.

If it true we don't have any facilities here in Ireland that can produce vaccines?

at which point vaccine supply will not be an issue

I'm reading this type of thing all the time. "Supplies will be better in February", "It'll ramp up considerably in March" etc. etc. etc. So far all forecasts have been off the mark so, while I'm happy for your optimism, I don't share it.

Let's hope the J&J one dose will be approved by the Eu council this week

Could be the game changer and boost we need

You should take a look at the when will it end thread. Apparently all the vaccines won’t make a difference , lockdowns and restrictions forever. Any data that’s posted about the vaccine efficacy and trials are lies apparently. :rolleyes:

Boiling mad! NPHET for the best part of a year demanding us to follow all of their guidelines, which for the most part people have been doing. All we ask in return is a positive vaccine rollout which they are failing at big time!

You need to stop boiling. First of all, NPHET have no role in the vaccination process - thats done by the HSE. Secondly, its running well. Vaccines are being administered as soon as we get them.

Should Ireland follow this?

Yes. And we should start opening up pubs and restaurants and shops etc for everyone who is vaccinated.

Who do you propose enforces that?

The business owners - for instance pubs can check id like they do for people under age.

By May a good chunk of our population (the most vulnerable) will be vaccinated. Let them enjoy life - where there is a will there is a way.

And Mac n’ chise with another good thread!

According to The Sunday Times, thousands of medically vulnerable at risk of severe Covid face prolonged uncertainty over when they'll be vaccinated.

Dr Colm Henry said the task of drafting Cohort 4 wouldn't be completed before the end of March due to the need to contact GPs and consultants and disability groups to identify those at most risk.

At a press briefing last Thursday, Dr Henry said the National Immunisation Advisory Committee's list is highly specific but also there are no disease registries that correspond to these exact definitions and each disease group needs a different method to identify where it is.

Why didn't the HSE consider drawing up a list of vulnerable people before the first dose of a vaccine was even administered in this country?
