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

We will see is what Thierry Breton has said but neither they nor J&J are likely to see a renewed contract anyway with the EU going down the mRNA/protein-based vaccine track.

Arrived for my jab 10 minutes early at the MVC in Kilkenny, got the jab 2 minutes before scheduled time. Very efficient. 650 due to get the jab there today, they will be extending to a 12 hour day tomorrow so approximately 1000 per day

My friend in Quebec is telling me that its 5 months between first and second vaccination doses over there. Read paragraph after the summary.

I know there are a couple of MVCs that are yet to open but let’s say 35 are open today. You’d expect Kilkenny to be an average or slightly larger than average sized MVC. If this is the case, this would mean that over 20,000 people are getting vaccinated today at MVCs. This would be fantastic for a Sunday and all first doses!

PS. I rolled up the sleeve of my shirt to get the jab but the nurse wasn't satisfied that it was rolled up far enough for her to give the jab where she wanted to so so I had to partially remove my shirt

You're in good company.

I wonder what they are doing in city west per day , I'm here now and there looks to be a conveyor belt of people going in and out , I'm parked out in an overflow for the overflow I think

Helix did I think 4500 last Saturday so I suspect Cotywest would do at least that

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

I think it shows poor judgement for Martin to travel abroad and then go the next day among a crowd of 60 something unvaccinated people. There would have been no particular issue had he been vaccinated before his trip abroad, even if you do not accept that he should have been done months ago.

suttonboi1 · 09-05-2021 06:15PM

Got my vaccine yesterday in my GPs, they were churning through them. The doc said they were due to give 350 that day.

pc7 · 09-05-2021 06:30PM

This thread is just so uplifting (excluding the issues with cohort 7 but I do believe it will be sorted), amazing to see the rates of vaccination hitting big numbers and getting down through the years.

revelman · 09-05-2021 06:40PM

1,060 vaccinations done in Cork City Hall today.

The alternative is being accused of having snouts in the trough, which I think would severely undermine any and all govt guidance. Besides, he’s probably being tested near daily at this stage.

Can’t please all the people all the time, but given the Coombe and Beacon sagas, they were well advised to wait their turn imo.

Is there anywhere we can see how vaccination is progressing in the different centres. It is very frustrating hearing how some areas are starting the 50 year olds while some still seem to be working on the 65+ cohort. Why are all centres not working at weekends?

Roughly 35k done Saturday and today

Interesting real world data coming out of South Korea, studying 3.5 million people. Both Pfizer and Astrazeneca almost 90% effective in preventing disease in over 60s after the first shot.

They would but they should have got it anyway and shown up those people's ignorance.

Save us a good bit on rent anyway getting them out of the convention centre.

They'd have to then listen to the various unions, who wanted their vaccine early, scream blue murder if this "skipping" happened. Probably thought it wasn't worth the hassle.

Why are boardsies bringing politics into this? This is a public health issue, end of!

If they should have been vaccinated earlier then they should have been called out in the list of categories with the appropriate justification. IMO it is great to see them waiting their turn like everyone else.

On the point about An Taoiseach only getting his vaccine today, I think that that is disgraceful.

If running a country in the middle of the biggest pandemic in a century is not an essential job, then I don’t know what is?

The government makes its decision based on tweets instead of what should be done. The cabinet should have been done at the outset.

Does anyone know why the rollout out of J&J is so slow. Looks to be a few hundred done. I thought we had 14,000 delivered at the end of April?

I don't think many world leaders skipped ahead of the general population for their vaccinations. The optics would be extremely poor. If you were to prioritize it though, our President would need to be first in line. He can't be replaced as easily as the Taoiseach, as he's elected by the public.

On the J&J rollout, I'd say they were just doing trial runs. I'd expect that would ramp up fast as there's no need to be working out appointments etc...

Just 8 new cases in Israel today. Vaccine proving incredibly effective.

2 Less than Australia! and only 6 more than New Zealand. It's insane how fast and effective the vaccines are with only 60% population coverage.

Friends father is 58 and received his appointment for Cork City Hall this coming Friday
