More likely we'll have vaccinated people mixing with unvaccinated people who will probably need more like 80% immunized to see similar results. I'm really looking forward to seeing Israel hit "zero covid" using nothing but vaccines. Should hopefully shut a few up.

This is also stunning they are at about 60% 1 dose, 56% 2 doses and just look at that R0 number. Love to see can they back calculate to see at what %tage of their population vaccinated got their R0 below 1. One caveat though, fully open society means proper mass gatherings still a big hurdle left.

That's why the state broadcaster is not highlighting it. The government threw the age group least likely to vote for them to the back of the queue today without an eyelid being batted.

Aged 18-54 years who did not have access to the vaccine in prior phases Rationale If evidence demonstrates the vaccine(s) prevent transmission, those aged 18-34 should be prioritised due to their increased level of social contact and role in transmission. Ethical Principles The principle of minimising harm is relevant should it become clear that a vaccine can impact on transmission of the virus as this would indirectly protect the most vulnerable in society as well as restore social and economic activity.

She has symptoms, she's sick like. In theory then a vaccinated person can work in a Covid ward maskless if they can't get it or spread it. Would you work in a covid ward maskless with just a vaccine as protection? How long you think you would last without getting infected?

Are you seriously suggesting that the younger age groups do not understand the implications of their behavior? Of course they do but they have been brought up believing that they are the most precious thing on this earth, and NOTHING else matters. Leave them till last I say!

Otherwise half their patients would be ringing every day and there’d be a big group whining that they’re not in this days group or the next days group. . . It might be close to the truth or they might be getting 1000 doses tomorrow but they haven’t put the list together yet.

Chris_5339762 wrote: » Well, I've posted in here a couple of times about my 73 and 74 year old parents and vaccines. Apparently their age group started yesterday on the 29th. So I got them to ring the GP this afternoon to inquire. They've been told their GP practice is getting no vaccines AT ALL for the next two weeks. Their names are on the list, but not at the top thats for sure. They won't have their first dose by the middle of April. Thats a bit of a disgrace really. One of them is scared to all hell as she only ever watches RTE and barely leaves the house. Refuses to allow my dad into the shops, I have to do it all (I was done as a HCW in January). She also has Parkinsons but isn't into the hospital system to be put into Category 4 yet, so the waiting game will continue with more and more fear/panic/hysteria. Ugh.

Among the young it is quite likely that behaviour and occupation are factors which should be taken into account in determining vaccination priority.
