Also one million Pfizer and Moderna bought extra from Moderna to spur this on
Its all good

It's a shame they didn't do that last week...oh wait!

The government have confused their own most it seems.

*p.s. Yes it is good if it is well organised and the uptake is there.

As an aside, I wonder why so many Romanians refuse to take the vaccines.

Its a legacy issue from Caeaucesu's forced vaccination schemes apparently

Great news on the vaccine front with that Romanian deal. 1 million doses would be a gamechanger to the rollout. Credit to Martin and all involved in the discussions with the Romanian government.

It's called contingency planning. Something I have been criticising the government throughout their handling of the pandemic. And rightly so.

Why the hell does every single FFG supporter bring up SF in this thread? I dont care about SF hence I don't go into SF threads. I also dont care about NI. This is the government thread. Why do ye insist on deflecting?

It seems to me that the more the government is screwing up, the more people fill this thread with SF.

Didn't you know it's SF's fault that we have a housing crisis. A SF that is not in government in the south and who is not the leading party in any of the Dublin county councils.

Don’t like hearing positive things about the government, do you?

The pharmacies that weren't taking bookings to vaccinate the 18-34 year olds "for a week or so" despite you trying to claim they were, aren't the government Maryanne.

Surely to God someone who shills so much in blind defence of the government would know that.

You needed to bluff/lie about the government.

Not hard to say you just rushed to defend and bluffed Maryanne.

If mattser would account for his bit of 'info' now that would clear everything up.

I said that the pharmacy was taking bookings for the last week or so. I didn’t say that he was first to book.

Whole families, adults and teenagers have been vaccinated by doctors in my area.

Jeez, aren’t I lucky to live where I do!

What’s this? Snipe at Maryanne day because they’re upset that the government is doing a good job and some pharmacies are very efficiently run?

The government are doing a great job in very difficult circumstances. Get over to it.

Not get Maryanne time, no.

It's more a case of you posting what is quite clearly nonsense. Your local pharmacy can't have been taking phone calls with vaccination registrations for the 18-34 groups for the last week or so, because it wasn't even a thing then.

Simples as you'd say yourself.

You miss the big picture as usual.

The vaccination centres will end up doing the vast majority of the 18-34s anyway.

Now Maryannes local pharmacy has been taking vaccination registrations over the phone days and days (for the last week or so) over the phone before it even was announced you could do so.

Never stop believing utopia exists. Maryanne is a resident it would seem.

Man with two pints on every corner I bet.

So you'd understand why Pharmacies not prepared would feel bombarded by phone calls? If you recall that's what you are arguing against as your Pharmacy is grand by all accounts.
You do realise your local Pharmacy isn't any evidence or comment on every Pharmacy in the country?
I don't personally know anyone homeless, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in it or will argue it doesn't exist.

Indeed yes, super efficient. Much better than that online registration portal that captures all your important credentials in advance.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/accelerated-vaccine-rollout-will-not-alter-outlook-for-july-august-glynn-1.4609811

The fact is that pharmacists need to do annual training on how to administer the flu vaccine. Every single year they do this training. You would think they should have been involved in the vaccine rollout since Day 1.

Pharmacists and their representatives have been begging for the opportunity to administer vaccines for nearly a year now. They are at a loss on why it has taken so long. Finally on June 14th they were given the straggler over-50s group. Low numbers. But today, in order to try and get the chaos coalition out of a PR hole, 750 pharmacies have been given permission to vaccinate 18-34s from 5th July. Far too late, far too dis-organised. The booking system isn't even online.

https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2021/0702/1232712-pharmacy-vaccines-covid/

The HSE National Director for the vaccine roll-out has urged people to be "patient" with pharmacies with regard to booking vaccine appointments, and pharmacies ability to offer vaccines.

The accelerated rollout of the vaccine programme to younger people will not “materially alter” what the country will be dealing with in terms of Covid-19 in July and August, deputy chief medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn has said.

Not for 18-34.

Pharmacies were only allowed give vaccines to straggler over-50s since mid June. Janssen only. Very low numbers were availing because most already vaxxed.

They will now be able to give them to 18-34 from 5th July.

There's a report on RTE the National Director of the HSE asking the public to be patient with Pharmacies because of limited supplies.
No geographical specifics.
What are you basing this on?
