Private school teachers prioritised for vaccinations

At 4.30pm all of the bookings were completed and there were doses left over. It was either use them or let them go to waste.

Seems to be the mantra when vaccines are given to people at the decision of those that appear to be abusing/ignoring the vaccine rollout schedule.

If this is indeed another case of mismanagement/abuse of the persons position, it should result in recruitment blacklisting, anyone who purposefully or otherwise has allowed the HSE/government rollout to be in receipt of negative publicity should not be welcome to work within the system.

Weed out those people and you could create a culture where the HSE is actually functioning properly, it will take time but in 10-15yrs the system may not be broken.

Nutgrove fire station, loughlinstown ambulance base, and the local Garda station in dundrum are much closer, but they'd be working class people

Shock horror....

What sort of schools are you familiar with that you would think that?

Probably off topic but i was walking past a private school in rathmines(st marys). Saw groups of students maybe 60-70 all been coached rugby by teachers/coach. Full contact no pods etc. Now im all for opening up etc and getting on with life. But why are these allowed play sports in school while my son a first year student is at home stuvk on zoom.

Make sure you contact the Gardai so they can ignore it.

I'm sure if they had rang the local cop shop, fire station or ambulance service 20 people would have turned up.

Left overs being used are what we applaud except of course when we don't like who they go to.

Is it time to start arresting and charging - be it the hospital staff or the HSE for advising that this is okay.

Over 70’s with conditions are being turned away for gods sake.

It’s like every week we manage to set a new low in the country.

Local school?

Its in another fecking county, 13km down the road, there's 3 other schools literally within 500 metres of the beacon

Link to that claim? And under what might they be charged apart from the one you just made up in your head?

My grandmother

Turned away yesterday as not enough vaccines to do everyone delivered.

Thanks for the personal attack by the way, really forwards your agenda of “this is okay”.

The choice is to throw away the excess or not.

You'd swear by the article that the teacher's in this school were the only ones in the country receiving the excess.

The journalist would have had to Scott through a long list to try and get this juicy story

They are meant to have backup lists that prioritise the current groups being vaccinated. Currently that's groups 1-4, teachers are group 11.

I think you'll find it's a lack of actual facts on a trashy tabloid website that some are questioning.

I'm only going be the commentary, but if it turns out that the hospital had left over vaccines and they did send them to the private school, what would you say? Good choice or bad choice?

The facts are clear, they had leftovers which should have gone to an already existing priority backup list that didn't skip over 7 other vaccine tiers.

Leftovers is the only fact here, the rest is still speculation.

From a quick count 9 schools primary and secondary within 5 km of the beacon

Their choice either way. I certainly wouldn't be sharpening up a pike regardless. So much of the frustration and anger is down with vaccine supplies. If we were doing the 250K a week promised this wouldn't even rear its head.

I'm sure there are a lot of creches close by too. Childcare workers have been working since June last year and absolutely no social distancing in a creche .
