At the start though we were just behind Denmark in 3rd or 4th on that chart. Denmark is still in the same place, but we have dropped.

You're right - see below. As of Feb 8th, we were nominally 3rd - (Serbia hadn't reported data and that would probably have pushed us into 4th). We're now bottom of that group as of March 22nd (NB. I've stripped out all other EU nations below us).

But apart from the outliers (Hungary/Serbia who're getting Sputnik;Malta who have done some deal different to everyone else; Denmark who scooped up doses via the vaccine bazaar), there's not a lot to separate the performance of the remaining countries. Our poor IT infrastructure and slow reporting doesn't help.

Denmark's relative performance has also slipped (2nd to 5th).

Does anyone know the effect getting the vaccination has on a covid test? I know you are not injected with the virus but is there anything in it which would set off a positive test result should you be tested shortly after.

If we take out the outliers at the top and bottom of the graph though, they're all fairly close to each other within reason, no ? Someone will finish first and someone will be last but as long as there's not much in it I wouldn't stress. If the pro rata plan stays true, we should all get there at much the same time.

We will rocket up the list in the next few days. Tues - Fri is when the bulk of the work is done here.

I guess it's the following week when the Halix treasure chest comes. Which week in April does Pfizer double deliveries?

April has to be a good month or there will be a lot of disappointed people

Fergal Bowers getting into the habit of posting fake news. Should really research the details before he posts tweets trying to stir ****.

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. It's becoming a very persistent habit with him. RTÉ is supposed to act responsibly. Imo he's letting himself and RTÉ down tweeting as he is. Putting stuff out there which on the face of it contains mundane info but which is obviously going to kick up a ****storm online as people misinterpret the little bit of info dangled in front of them in the tweet. I've no idea of his intentions but if he was designing tweets to cause outrage he couldn't do any better.

One thing to consider with charts that use doses/total population. Ireland has a higher population under 18 relative to other countries in EU. If you use doses/vaccinatable population, it drives our relative performance up.

My 75 year old mom was told end of April. My father (86) at the same GP already got his second dose. Very frustrating.

Fair play to your dad for marrying a young wan

So only 20k being used next week in the mass vaccination centres over a week? Has the AZ stock ran out already?

I read on another thread that we are still stockpiling the second doses instead of getting them into as many people as possible. I thought they were only going to do this for a couple of weeks.

Does it explain why we are falling so far down the EU table?

Just want to add that thankfully my father got vaccinated yesterday. The doctor rang him up the day before and said to be on standby as they expect to have just enough supply from their delivery to be able to slot him in the following day and they did. It’s such a relief to him and and for all the family!
Now hopefully my 70 - 74 year old mother will get a call up within the next few weeks.

Cohort 3, 2nd doses beginning to ramp up

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cUZy6AMCwuA2zhtRuKK7cqMVgmhdDsGsZrFWJTkw9DY/edit#gid=1219026690

It looks like they've done a re-coding of ~10k from Cohort 1 to Cohort 2. Assuming not many more first doses are remaining for Cohort 1, it implies that ~84% of Cohort 1 are fully vaccinated (81365/96924).

I've always been intrigued by who was that Cohort 4 person who got their 2nd dose a full week before anyone else

God, that third picture is startling. Seeing so many people in a mass vaccination centre and not just an empty one, I mean. Imagine showing that to us 12 months ago. Good to see.

Granted that table is using data a few days old for us, but I've noticed we are dropping down over time.

19k is not bad, need this and much more as the figures for the rest of the week come in.

I suppose it's early days but an interesting discovery.

Is there a case for only giving one jab to people who have already had Covid?

Wonder why the approval for usual pharma freezers took quite so long, sure I read something back weeks ago, that it was proven to be ok.... I may be mistaken.

Good news Friday Hooray.

It was shown to be ok in the us a few weeks ago. I guess Pfizer had to redo the study to meet european rules.

Its great news and will really ease the roll out

I think in France, they have started giving one shot of vaccine to known Covid instances, - there had been some good early results, this study is indeed interesting and the promotion of antibodies is good news. On the flip side, studies have shown people who have already had covid, tend to also experience a range of harsher whole body side effects after the vaccine. But hey, it's a small price to pay.
Each day we are learning about this virus and how to live with it.

Good news Friday, yeh
