Vaccine Megathread No 2 - Read OP before posting

I think we are getting a bit negative about July/August in terms of the vaccine rollout.

by end of July, I reckon we will have received:

4.14 million Pfizer doses
0.63 million Moderna doses

(this is based on Belgium/Sweden data, both are pretty consistent)

= enough to vaccinate 2.4 million people with 2 doses

in addition, we will have c550,000 people with 2 doses of AZ and maybe 200,000 with J&J (there should be enough over 50s to get to that sort of level).

that's enough to fully vaccinate 3.15 million people by end July = 85% of the 3.7 million over 18s. There's no reason why everyone won't have one dose by mid August.

when Paul Reid says vaccine deliveries will slow in July, that's true but we will get a large Pfizer delivery at end of June and we should still have a bit of a surplus in stock. We should still be vaccinating 300,000 plus people per week for much of July.

35-39 registration is open now.

As I suspected from the last time, they're obviously paying a Salesforce contractor to update the age cohorts, so rather than pay premium rates to get it done on a weekend, they just ask him to open it up before he finishes on Friday.

Can’t see this at all? Still says 40-69 on HSE website?

Just click past the questions into the registration screen.

What questions? you mean setting up an account? It would have been open anyway for 40-69. Does it mention 35-39 when you go past account registration? Don’t really want to do it now as I’m 36 so should prob be a good girl and wait :-D

It was open but blocked you if your birth year was later than 1981.

Go ahead and register, it won't skip you up the queue.

The whole opening day-by-day thing is a bit of theatre.

I registered! Yay, hope I hear in next week or so :-)

Might need to temper your expectations.

Highly unlikely you'll hear anything for the next 3 weeks or so

Well, we’ll have to see

stephenjmcd wrote: »

Well your 36, other age groups ahead of you and the HSE said themselves yesterday 3-4 weeks.

Standard wait time as it is now is 3 weeks anyway

Just the fact that you were hopeful of hearing in the next week or so, don't be.

I am being hopeful is all; I’m not saying I expect to hear in the next week.

stephenjmcd wrote: »

Yes but I'm saying there's hopeful and realistic.

Being realistic says you'll be waiting a few weeks. They won't get to calling 36 year olds in a week

Ok sure that’s grand ??

36 year olds aren't even supposed to register until the middle of next week so yeah, I'd say you'll be looking at around July 14 - 21st really!

It's the most exciting thing most of us have had to look forward to in 15 months, don't suck the fun out of it

Exactly, Christ, what is wrong with people! It’s great just to be registered. A friend of mine is 42, registered 2 days before she was “supposed to” (a Wednesday), got a text on the Friday with appt for the following Tuesday - I’m not expecting this myself like but it just goes to show that it can happen very quickly. I do know there are more of us in 35-39 though

Be sure to pick a probable date too - like with July in it!

No text to 41yos in Dublin yet? Just wondering if they forget me

Are we still missing some data from our figures? Just trying to work out why we are trailing behind the like of Germany and others.

Hoping for before the end of June with all these second doses to do will only lead to disappointment and anxiety I'm afraid! July 15 is far enough away for you to be surprised by an earlier date!

Nah it really won’t, I’ll be fine, but thanks. Like I said, I’m not expecting it but there is absolutely no harm in being hopeful. I’m just happy I’m registered to be quite honest.
