Similar to Pfizer and then being able to reduce the plant shutdown from 4 weeks to 1 week in order to upscale. AZ waited until a week before the delivery date to say the order will be massively reduced. Very little the EU could do at that stage.

The EU commission will just point at the contract and demand 55m by June (which is half of what the US expects by the end of May). 30% more people, 45% less doses and delivered later. At least we got it for a few quid less.

Johnson & Johnson has told the European Union it is facing supply issues that may complicate plans to deliver 55 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine to the bloc in the second quarter of the year, an EU official has said.

I've a subscription to the IT(sometimes worth it sometimes not) and read an article at 6.30 this morning and at that time it already included the 850k. They've copied it into the one you linked. Reid later said 1.1 million, which the Independent, RTE & others are reporting. His comments came after the initial IT report.

In all likelihood, Covid would be fatal for anyone in this country who has CF, given that sufferers in Britain have died of Covid. Therefore, the idea of one case of CF being less serious than another doesn't make sense. Does Ireland have an especially high proportionate number of CF sufferers?

Aoife's cystic fibrosis is labelled as "stable" and not "severe". She says she will be remaining in Cohort 7, and not moving up to Cohort 4. "I feel quite hopeless," she said. "There was a lot of hype that there was going to be some good news released, and I really did feel of a blanket release of positive news for vulnerable individuals and it's not. "It's just an extremely disappointing time," she said. Aoife is now part of the Vaccine4Vulnerable campaign, aimed at what they say is the inequality in vaccine distribution among the vulnerable in Ireland.

If your relative is elderly, did they provide a mobile number so they could receive a text message. Do they have a mobile. Did they provide adequate contact information. Did they contact their GP to look up their result. Maybe you should help them navigate the proper avenues for contacting the HSE before bitching on Boards.
