Good thread explaining what is going on in the Seychelles ...

Or he could have just explained that coronavac/sinovac is only 50% or so effective. Hence countries which rely on it like Chile and Uruguay are having the same problems with new COVID outbreaks.

Detailed report in the NY Times on CureVac here.

- On the cusp of announcing the results of its late-stage clinical trial. Results might be announced next week.
- "CureVac sees itself as a major player in ending the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe".
- CureVac is also designing a new generation of vaccines with a goal of eventually moving into markets in the United States.

Hopefully the EMA approve later this month and CureVac distribution starts later this month or early June.

Fingers crossed we get good news, and soon.

The more vacines the better!

Apologies if it's been asked before, would anyone know how someone aged 60 would be called before a 62 year old? Both registered on their given day and will be vaccinated in the same centre. Is it an eircode thing or is there any reason?

Does it really matter?

To me, yes, it does. It's a simple question which I'm hoping someone has an insight into. If you don't, that's fine. Hopefully somebody else will.

Here's a thing.
Got my vaccine on Saturday and was very happy to get it and I was also relieved to learn that all the medical staff - even the stewarts in the car park had all been vaccinated to ensure we were safe.
The I got home and saw that Leako Varadkar was doing vaccines in the Helix
as a publicity stunt.
So here's what I asked myself:
Has he been Vaccinated in order to do this?
Which Vaccine did he get? did he go to the back of the queue and get AZ or hop to the front and get an MRNA one cos he is a Frontline Healthcare worker! under 50 years old.
And has he had both jabs so he is fully vaccinated as he would need to be to safely administer the vaccine to vulnerable people.
Then I see less than one third of Cohort 2 (frontline healthcare workers) have actually been fully vaccinated.

They shouldn't be. It was explicitly stated that regardless of when you registered, they would do it based on age.

I think that there are bigger things in the world to be concerned about. It is like someone being happy with an iPhone 20 until they find someone else with an iPhone 21. Just be happy that the vaccine is on the way soon

I've no specific knowledge of this, but I would say it is highly likely that a younger person could get called before someone slightly older - it hardly makes much difference at all if one is vaccinated a day or two, or even a few days before the other. It would only be a problem if the gap was weeks or even months.

I'm in cohort 7, early 40's with underlying condition. I got a call off my GP this evening. My appointment for a vaccine is confirmed for next Tuesday.
I work in a supermarket where social distancing is an alien concept to a lot of people, getting vaccinated is a huge huge relief.

As far as I know all vaccinators are vaccinated and rightly so . Leo is vaccinating so he is perfectly entitled to be vaccinated .

Don't think so - he said earlier today he was waiting and would take the first one he was offered.

Surprised he could vaccinate people in a centre tbh.

Thanks for your reply. That was my understanding as well. Simply asked incase I'd missed something along the way that may have changed the allocation. Thanks again!

My guess would be the 60 year old may be cohort 4 or 7

Him and Micheal Martin and Micheal d Higgins should have been vaccinated at the get go.
And I'm a SF supporter who detests Leo.

The fact He's a Dr and doing vaccinations is the second reason he should be vaccinated first.

And who bloody cares at the end of the day.

I know two pharmacists working in MVC who had a single dose AZ so far but don't know anyone not vaccinated.

To be honest flu vaccinations were done and it wasn't an issue in the winter. Masks and social distancing with around two minutes with a vaccinator. Id imagine it's an extremely low transmission risk.

It's part of the plan. Leo is the only cabinet member vaccinated.
Somehow the entire cabinet is struck down with covid.
Leo has to step into the breach as Taoiseach...

Moderna have released the results of their booster trial. Booster shots improved immune responses. The subjects received the booster shots about six to eight months after they had received the second dose ...

That may be what was intended but not what's happening in all cases.My wife was vaccinated last Tuesday in Sligo,i got mine the following day even though i am 2 years older.My appointment arrived by text with one hours notice.As far as i'm concerned it is not of any significance if a 66 year old was vaccinated a few days before a 68 year old.

Thanks for your reply. I was simply asking incase criteria had changed as it had been said it was aged based, that's all

Delighted you've both got your first dose

Think I've got plenty of replies now so we'll leave it there

He was vaccinating people at some stage I seem to recall, so I assume he would have to had a vaccine before he could do that.
