Updated delvieries up to Friday.

Puts to bed the claims that we've 400k+ doses sitting in storage. They're going out as they come in

Problem seems to be at the EU level.

You’d have to wonder why we’ve fallen so far back from the top of the charts for doses administered to the bottom 5/6 around the EU if were all getting the same amounts from the EU.

The differences across the EU countries are very small. We are two days behind on reporting whereas some countries report on the day.

Just thought others might like to know how we got on with visit to Aviva today. Other half had 9 30 am appointment and was out the door done and dusted by 10 am. I had 2 50pm appointment and joined a Q outside at 2 40pm. A long Q snaking around and took about an hour to get indoors.

It was a bit of a wind tunnel so unpleasant NE wind despite sunshine. So another hour of several Q's indoors. I must admit to having left at end without full 15 minute wait as was worried about car on meter over time. There was onstreet parking even one right outside Aviva but one I used was limited to 60 minutes. Quite a lot of construction traffic on Shelbourne Road so busy enough tho there were spaces about.

Big mistake to have dressed lightly as got very cold. I could have brought a folding stool, a book or headphones and a drink. There are water dispensers inside building but took a bit to work out how they worked (footpedal activates waterflow). The entry point and start of the Q is on the eastern side of the building so not into those doors that front onto Landsdowne Road. Plenty of bike parking spots near to Q area. At no time did anyone check who was in the Q as to the time of their appointment. But in the end the flow thru was limited by the time the vaccinators took to do the jabs. Sometimes we moved smoothly along and other times we seemed to stall.

A great view of the main rugby pitch!

Anecdote so take it with a pinch of salt obviously. Brother knows a doctor in germany who's fairly high up in one of the southern regions. The word in Germany is that they'll have enough doses for most of the population by end of May.

J & J and Curevac a factor perhaps?

Didn’t they buy Sputnik?

That would be amazing if true, I heard there was possibility curevac was being approved quickly, I presume they have been manufacturing all this time and stock piling it?

I would hope so!

CureVac themselves have been saying June so any earlier would be great.

The plan in this tweet (it was in a few news site articles too) mentions that the mental health group within Cohort 7 (approx. 50,000) will be done in MVCs. Has anyone heard anything about this from GPs?

Vaccine uptake will be lower in Germany than here, so their younger cohorts will be getting it offered to them sooner.

I have read Boards for years, never registered. I have been following the Vaccine threads from Day 1 and I had to register to tell you that today I received dose 1 of Pfizer. I am 30 with a high Bmi and am in cohort 4.
At 6.30 I got a call from my GP, they had spare vaccines. I was injected at 6.48!

Congratulations! apt username

I know somebody in their 30's who got a vaccine scheduled for this weekend totally out of the blue, cannot think of a reason why except that they're overweight. Questioned it with the GP who said just take it. They feel guilty, like they're skipping the queue.
