Lazy but here you go. That's where such information lives. HCWs/Group 2 are now getting their second doses regardless of age as will the 60-69 in about 4 weeks.

https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/astrazeneca/

Because 60-69 got AZ, would their second doses not start at the end of July/start of August? c.12 weeks from first dose?

Bubbaclaus · 01-06-2021 01:51PM

So we should have the 3 millionth dose this weekend roughly. I miss the daily data.

Yep, just being a bit premature! About 21 July for first groups.

Currently yes they would start getting there doses starting mid-July. Those in there 50s will be starting early august. So through august you’d need AZ.

There could be a change to 8 weeks, but nothing official yet. NIAC are looking at that as well as potentially changing the second dose to mRNA for under 50s

Are there many with AZ in their fifties? Seeing more Pfizer and J&J mentioned.

Really looking forward to tomorrow (44 y/o)

I know it's only the registration and it will be a number of weeks before I get my first shot but at least I have some measure of certainty now.

Last week I posted frustration on the lack of details on the registration date and on or 2 posters basically told me to be patient it will come, sure enough it did but I still feel they knew on Friday there were going to open it on Wednesday so why wait until Monday to announce it.

The constant snail pace of drip feeding information is very frustration especially people who suffer from anxiety.

Anyways I'm delighted now to have some certainty but I feel for people with anxiety under the age of 40, their next 3-4 weeks is going to be a long a frustrating wait

Most on sky news are not even government advisers, sky reporting are very good at playing with their the way they present there stories.
Read past the headline.
It usually ends up I would advise the government, ends up been some professor in a 3rd rate college,,looking to get there names in the spotlight.

That's why I said "government advisors" i.e. that's what Sky are calling them. Anyone with sense knows they're just academics looking for publicity.

We're going to France in August. Campsite sold us an additional insurance policy to cover such instances.

If one of us tests positive meaning that some or all of the family can't return home, then it pays out for an extended stay.

Presumably similar policies are available in other countries.

What puts me off about travelling this year is partly the cost of testing my kids to travel, but mostly the Risk that if one of the party tests possitive on the test before returning home, the lot of us will probably have to quartine in some small spanish/french hotel room for 2 weeks. I mean I love my kids, but that sounds like hell

Definitely some, but hard to know the exact number. I think they used up all they could, but not sure of the total number.

JP Liz V1 · 01-06-2021 03:06PM

My 2nd dose Pfizer delayed again as GP didn't get in yet

Well at the moment there's no vaccine approved for under-12s.

Good point, until they're approved for that age it makes no sense at all

Can't find the post now in the various threads, but someone was asking of any reinfection cases in Ireland.

First details of Irish Covid-19 reinfection reported
Updated / Tuesday, 1 Jun 2021 14:52

"It involved a 40-year-old female health care worker who was first infected in April 2020.

The infection was laboratory confirmed and she did not need hospitalisation.

Seven months later, she presented with symptoms and was found to have Covid-19, according to the study in the latest Irish Medical Journal.

.....

In early May, data from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre showed there had been around 514 cases of Covid-19 reinfection here."

Or here

Very possible the second AZ dose will be brought forward, especially as it doesn't seem to be being used much as a first dose at the moment.

For those who are in the aged-based vaccinations how long before you get your second dose of Pzfizer do you get a notification for your appointment?

I would love to know, due 2nd dose by next Monday, but tbf got text 3 days before 1st dose

Weird mini protest outside DCU. Something to do with Pfizer having been fined for fraud some years back

The recommendation is expected to "have a significant and immediate impact on the supply of Comirnaty, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech (22UAy.DE) and Pfizer, in the European Union," the European Medicines Agency said.

Unfortunately I can't find what the figures are.

Worked fine there for me. Delighted to have finally registered! Cheers for the excellent info on this thread - daily lurker for months.

So you just pretend to be 45 to 69 on that first page?

Irish Times article on the approval of the Belgian site here.

- EMA said the decision would “have a significant and immediate impact on the supply of Comirnaty, the Covid-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech and Pfizer, in the European Union”.
- The increase due to Ireland will bring the number of Pfizer doses delivered to the country to roughly 2.75 million between April and the end of June.
- According to Pfizer, the acceleration in manufacturing will allow them to reach the deliveries they had already promised, meaning Ireland is about to get more doses than it has been receiving up until now.

I'm in the 45-49 bracket and registered the 1st day I could. Still no appointment for the vaccine. Closest center is Croke Park.

My fried who is a couple of years younger than me got his last week in the Aviva.

We had used 1.28 million doses of Pfizer according to the covid app on the 11th of May.. so anyone hazard a guess as to how much we’ve used to now? And how much will we have for June?

Yeah, click the 45-69 link. And then input your real date of birth.

As per other posts, the site definitely now works for those aged 40-44.
