I'm really interested to see what proportion of the 20% were vaccinated with Sinopharm and what with AZ. If it's significantly over 60% with Sinopharm, then that's very encouraging for those who have gotten/are due to get AZ.

Considering their high % vaccinated and low population, it's certainly ripping through the rest of the population fast. I know AZ has shown to reduce transmission, has Sinopharm shown the same? Yes you would expect some people to still catch covid after vaccination, but it's the speed of it spreading, it's like the vaccinations didn't slow or prevent it at all. Unlike Israel, they hit 60% and cases dropped like a brick.

Hopefully yesterday was a big day for vaccines.

Need 45317 across Saturday & Sunday to hit 240k for the week.

Given Friday’s success, we reached 34% of the adult population about two days sooner than I initially anticipated. I think your guess for this weekends vaccinations look good. A large proportion of those should be first doses. If next week is marginally better than this week, I think that by next Sunday we could be knocking on the door of 40% of the population over 16 with a first vaccination.

For somebody who asked about the Mallow Vaccine Center they seem to be onto 66 year olds now.

GPs seem to be only giving the jab to the old and sick so far, people who are healthy seem to all have to wait to go to a vaccine cantre.

if only. I know a relative in their 50s with no medical issues who got vaccinated by their friend and GP last week. Meanwhile we in our 60s are waiting for appointments at the MVC.

Why dont you call the same GP and ask why his friend got vaccinated ?

Crikey, that would suggest they are privately furious with the company and want nothing more to do with them.

Coillte_Bhoy · 09-05-2021 02:03PM

I registered for the vaccine last night on the HSE website or at least thought i had but ive no confirmation email, surely i should have received one?

Yep also begs the question of what will be used for second doses

There's a bit more than meets the eye with this I think.

The Reuters article says they haven't made any new orders yet and the quote is "We did not renew the order after June. We’ll see what happens,"

There's a bit of positioning going on here probably given the legal case the commission is taking.

At the end of the day it's not going to make much difference as AZ still have to deliver the inital contract anyway & at the pace they're currently delivering that might take a while

Yes you get an e mail to confirm the e mail adress and a link to click on ,then continue on and you get a text message with PIN to verify it

Must also be assured of enough supplies of Pfizer & Moderna and maybe Curevac for the rest of 2021 before the massive 1.8BN deal with Pfizer kicks in.

It's probably just that in Ireland AZ is only recommended for a very narrow age/risk band, and is likely to be slower to adapt to new variants, so whilst the mRNA vaccines are more expensive and more difficult to transport, they provide greater flexibility.

Not really. The inital contract will still need to be fulfilled anyway

Question with regard to J&J, has there been any real world data yet on how J&J performs ? For example the HSE site re AZ gives the efficacy from the trials and then mentions new data from England and Scotland with updated metrics. Just wondering if there’s anything similar for J&J ?

Micky 32 · 09-05-2021 02:14PM

52k jabs done on Friday!. Other news MM got his AZ jab today and says “ we are emerging from this pandemic “

This is controversial but it is madness that the whole Government are not yet vaccinated.

No, you don't get a confirmation email as such, just one you receive 'before' you enter your details.

But you can log into the site to check your details. Start the registration process again and when you get to the page where you enter your name and address, there is a login button at the bottom of the page.

"for after June" i.e. that's AZ finished and done with? Leaves just J&J and the MRNA's?

Mr Donnelly said the roll-out would be moving to the 40-50 age cohort "very shortly", adding they were "really moving" through the age cohorts, which today opens for those aged 54.

"In the coming weeks we will open up for 45-49, 40-44 and so forth," he said.

I agree. They should have been done at the start irrespective of what you think of their policies. Running scared of the social media mob and the tabloid rags.
