It will see the 18-34 age group being able to 'opt in' for Janssen or AstraZeneca for earlier vaccination. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme, Mr Donnelly said this 'opt-in' system will run in parallel with the online portal registration, calling it a two-track approach in the vaccine roll-out. From next Monday, 750 pharmacies can begin administering the Janssen vaccine to people in the 18-34 age groups, who have opted in.' This explains the change. Govt have crafted a message that creates an urgency to get vaccinated among the cohort least likely to present. Kinda brilliant when you think about it.

She is either confused by government communications or bluffing/lying to make the government look good. She can clear it all up by telling us which pharmacy was running this scheme 'all last week'.

He saw that they were taking bookings for unvaccinated over 50’s, so rang last Friday to ask if they might be doing the under 50’s at any time. They said that there was very little uptake in the over 50’s group and expected to be cleared to do the under 50’s in the coming weeks and did he want to put his name down, so he did. No doubt Francie will be along shortly to pick holes/pour scorn on this and previous posts of mine!

skimpydoo wrote: » More from the article: At another pharmacy, a worker said that they are taking names to vaccinate the new age groups, but can’t do anything for those under 50 yet as they are still waiting HSE guidance. One pharmacist in Dublin City centre said that he had heard some talk about this being a possibility during the week, but this was the first he had heard about official confirmation. He has since applied to the HSE to order more of the Janssen jab into his business. “It was alright before now because most of the over 50s are vaccinated anyway,” he said, “but we have quite a young demographic around us here.” Another pharmacist from a different pharmacy in the South Dublin area said: “My phone is so bad, I can barely do my normal day’s work. “It wasn’t communicated. The HSE and government kind of dumped it on pharmacies and didn’t communicate it properly. And a lot of pharmacies have waiting lists and they’ve no vaccines. “It’s crazy, crazy!” Another pharmacist contacted The Journal to say: “We only had 20 vaccines to give out because that was what we had leftover from the over 50′s and we had no communication from the HSE as to when or how many doses, if any, that we will be getting from them. “We were totally thrown in the deep end here and only able to provide the information that we got from the news,” he said. “They haven’t even contacted us to tell us that we are getting more vaccines! It’s impossible!” They are still waiting for a plan to be put in place over the weekend for Monday’s rollout.

I am surprised that we haven't had SF types on here calling for the nationalisation of pharmacies because they are slow to implement the government's decision. Oh.......I see,.....that would mean conceding the government is right to roll out vaccines as quick as possible.
