Agree wih Alan Kellys sentiment but as a 32 year old i would like to be included in that. 30-34 year olds haven't been offered a jab yet.

Can you go do a gym workout after the jab?
Or should u relax for a few days

When I got my Pfizer jab last week from the GP he said nothing strenuous for 24-48hrs. I jokingly said oh so no gym this evening and he just looked at me stern faced and said no I wouldn't recommend it

To be honest the arm was sore enough by evening so doubt I'd have even gone if he said yeah

Agreed, but I reckon the 30-34 group opening on the portal is imminent (potentially early next week) and that's why he specifically referenced 18-29, who will still have quite some time to wait.

Just got first dose of Pfizer from GP, seriously efficient, 2 nurses giving the jabs in and out in 20 mins!

Mine 2nd was faster. My appointment for 2nd dose (with GP) was scheduled for 2.30pm. I was standing outside at 2.20. At 2.25 I was invited in, given my card already filled out (as my GP didn't issue them after 1st dose), sat down and was done. I was walking out at 2.30pm - 5 minutes! That included 2 mins chat about another issue!

Depends on the individual.
I played what turned out to be a fairly tough hour of astro the day after my 2nd Pfizer because I felt ok at the time.
Still alive 2 days later and have all bars on the 5G signal.

I'd assume some of them either died or weakened to a point where it was medically inadvisable to give them a 2nd vaccine dose.
Probably wouldn't account for all 5000 though.

Some would also be people admitted for the first time in the interim, that would be hundreds.

Think it would make sense to use Curevac in younger populations based on those results.

It is ridiculous how long we take to do things in this country. Leo there saying the HSE has to consider if we have enough stock etc to open the Janssen vaccine for all ages in pharmacies and that they need a few days. Why?

I agree that it is ridiculous but I would say that it is the irish population requesting it indirectly. There is a higher sense of social justice in this country, a feeling that even during a pandemic everything should be fair and that we should not give a vaccine to anyone if we are not 100% sure that anyone else more more vulnerable is vaccinated.

Just have a look at this forum. In other threads you can see people whining because they are 42 and that they know someone who is 38 that got a dose before them. You see people being guilted because they registered 2days before their date. You can see people in their 60s who got a free vaccine before any other age group complaining because they got AZ and that they will be fully vaccinated after other age groups, because of the nature of AZ.

My opinion is that after the so-called vulnerable people the vaccine should have been opened to everyone. A vaccine in the arm of a 24years old is better than a vaccine in its package, because it was meant for a 42years old who rescheduled 3 times their appointment because they can't make it.

If they open to an age cohort and not another one, you would see a lot of opposition from other age cohorts that feel entitled to get it before.

If they have significant quantities available soon, maybe. Otherwise their manufacturing capacity should be re-jigged to one of the other ones.

I'd be surprised if Curevac features at this stage. Pfizer deal has sown up supply for the foreseeable and unless Curevac is on stream in the next week or two then it'll be very low numbers that would be getting it.

Apogee · 01-07-2021 02:11PM

Reid/HSE:

Uptake
>80s 99%
70-79 98%
60-69 93%
50-59 90%
40-49 79%

300-330K doses next week. 42 MVCs now operational.

140k J&J that should be used asap.

Surely they could have started working out the logistics while NIAC made their decision.

No 15 minutes observation time? Usually compulsory after vaccination in the event of a reaction

Apogee · 01-07-2021 02:12PM

Revised plan including AZ/JJ option for under 50s now with Minister

PTH2009 · 01-07-2021 02:16PM

Given me that J&J one shot asap

That's 140,000 fully vaccinated people

A significant figure that needs to be used asap

Few weeks tops

Could he not give the figure delivered. Can't be that bloody hard to check the delivery docket ffs.

Theboinkmaster · 01-07-2021 02:18PM

Does anyone have the vaccine delivery schedule for July and august?

Am I right in saying 200,000 pfizer per week on average?

Wonder what adult % we will have fully vaccinated by end of July and august? Once it’s 70-80% surely it’s all over given how effective they are against delta

Can't remember exactly but somewhere in the region of 235k I think.

In 4 weeks time we should have a minimum of 67% vaccinated fully and probably close to 80% first doses(may be higher with AZ/JJ) Number of first doses will drop a chunky amount in July

If we got 140000 18-29 dosed that would be huge for reopening

Pharmacies can do 100k in a week if it's mandated and supplies are made available efficiently so the above should be the aim

stephenjmcd · 01-07-2021 02:24PM

30-34 looking at the end of next week
