The best comparison may have been to compare it to other vaccines, MMR can cause clots, flu vaccine might actually reduce the risk. I understand the EMA were trying to allay fears but as can be seen from some posters taking what they said as gospel, it can sometimes cause more more confusion when they don't make caveats for what they say.

I honestly think the worst thing they can say is "The benefits outweigh the risks" it's like a red rag to a bull for some people.

It's much easier to put in terms of the risk of getting and dying from COVID-19 and go on from there.

I think the UK conference that made all the comparisons between age groups was excellent from that point of view, spelt it out why getting the vaccine is still a good idea for most people.

please be patient and forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place - I am trying to find a correct thread to post in

basically I am trying to find out if I am on the " at risk" list and should wait patiently for the call . I am NOT asking where I would be on the list etc but

my siblings received the vaccine in recent days - they have specific health risk factors like diabetes which puts them on the high risk category

But I do not understand how /where that information is compiled from / I would also be considered at High Risk, but for example am not under any consultant care etc

So how can I determine they have me on a list somewhere ?

I know you might say " contact your GP" - but that is proving to be impossible, and on their website it comes up in big letters " do not ring or email asking about the vaccine list...contact hse.ie

I have spent an age scrolling hse websites, cannot find any contact number for a query etc

again, I am not looking to know when I will be vaccinated, I am just looking to confirm I am on a list somewhere

thanks

100 days to get to a million. The mostly gently inclining ramp I've ever seen. Could stick a 19th century locomotive on it without much bother. :pac:

~18 days to reach 100k
~30 days to reach 200k
~62 days to reach 500k
~100 days to reach 1mm

And now hopefully less than 150 days to reach 2mm.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in buying an ion drive?

Watched Zara King on Virgin Media news this evening ask Paul Reid that since a number of SNAs in County Wexford were given the vaccine yesterday out of sequence i.e. they should not have received those vaccines, should the HSE just open it up now so that all SNAs in Ireland get the vaccine?

Jesus wept.

Do we think they're going to restrict AZ to over 50s like France, Spain, Germany, Italy, etc.?

Do you have one of the listed "VERY high risk" or "High risk" conditions listed on this page under cohorts 4 and 7? https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/rollout/rollout.html#progress-update

If yes, and you are not under the care of any consultant, then your GP is the only one who can put you forward under those cohorts - to my knowledge.

I've received multiple injections now. I volunteered to be a test subject for a few different kind. Just this afternoon I received the Russian sputnik vaccine and have zero side effects и чувствовали себя прекрасно после вакцинации.

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go where fashion sits?

This may be a stupid question but have the staff of the quarantine hotels been vaccinated? And the defence forces transporting them

Ring your GP, it's really the only way as far as I know. My 74 year old mother who recently had a heart procedure and numerous bouts of pneumonia was patiently waiting by the phone. I convinced her to ring the doctor (threatened to call myself) and now she has an appointment for next week.

As always it's still a case of don't ask, don't get!

I would suggest post on this thread too as its more specific to your query as well.

Nah need to upgrade the dilithium crystals before anything else.

George Lee reporting that there might be as many as 190,000 vaccinations next week - that's more like it.

He also says there is talk that the online web portal might be brought forward by a week.

That'd be great. Because, and with all due respect, the thing is absolutely going to crash as soon as it goes online.

Yes I am hoping we will beat the equivalent of 38k (per day ) ( as mentioned above in the german comparison thread ) as we should have AZ extra waiting to go this week and we should have a bumper couple of days from easter compression.

No clue, but as you can see in the numbers, Ireland isn't far off what America is doing when you do a like for like.

What did Ronan Glynn say about vaccine escape? Mammy texting me saying that he was worried about it so now she's worried. Not listening to the brief so I can't comment on it

The usual concern that a VOC will do that. None of them have so far. When are NPHET without a worry anyway?!

Cillian De Gascun says he doesn't expect COVID vaccines to become an annual thing, he thinks it will be more likely we may need boosters every few years

Maybe someone should point him in the direction of a little known country of Israel, and ask him where the vaccine escape is there?

Yeah, probably down to the slower mutation rate vis a vis flu'.
