It really wasn't. Our lot would gladly tank the country before going cap in hand to London admitting that Brexit Britain was a roaring success.

The anti Brexit sentiment of our government and members of our public is a national embarrassment.

Have you any proof at all that vaccines were available from the UK before September and turned down? As that's what you're trying to deny here.

I assume all vaccine data is linked to PPS right?

Yeah I did too but I'm just wondering if what the GPs are using is linked to a HSE database or whether they just send in completed doses at the end of the week.

Not saying they were. Saying that if the UK had happened to have a surplus we wouldn't have taken it so as not to embarrass our useless leaders in Brussels.

Micheal Martin effectively weaseled out of that question last Feb or thereabouts. As if we would ever put the national interest ahead of Brussels.

I've nothing useful to add unfortunately, but just to say I'm in the same boat. Got my first dose of Pfizer from my GP on 11th June and was told I'd be referred to the HSE for the second dose at a vaccination centre, as the GP was finished with vaccinations.

I'm not due for the second dose till the end of next week, but rang the HSE last Monday just to make sure I'm registered. They couldn't find a record for me, but set one up over the phone.

Then today I got a call from a Dublin number I didn't recognise saying my record wasn't created correctly and they were missing my PPS number and other details, which I definitely gave them already. Sounded dodgy so I decided to ring the HSE Live number instead, and they said my record is fine and they have all the info they need.

Assumed it was a scam call, but I googled the number and I've seen it mentioned in this thread too and it actually seems legit. So now I've no idea what to think. Sounds like I might have two separate records on their system, which doesn't inspire confidence!

I'm going to leave it till the end of next week and if I don't hear anything, I'll start ringing every day until I get somewhere.

Well I'm sorry to hear that you're in the same boat but glad not to be alone! Have you had any joy since? I've kept calling for an update and am just told that a case is still opened and that I should be contacted soon. This thursday will be a month since I should have had my second dose. It's infuriating.

amandstu · 05-07-2021 10:44PM

Has it been established to what extent the various vaccinations actually slow down transmission?

Can a (percentage) number be put on it? Has it been?

So you're making a statement that is clearly impossible to back up, and using it declare judgement over an unconnected political issue.

I’d think they’re linked. Only way they can update correctly the numbers again now?

The UK were taking in most of their vaccines from Europe and then India, where do the supply of surplus for Ireland come from? From their European supply or their Indian supply?

There was no question for MM to dodge, the UK both flew a kite and shot down that kite on the same day.

Even now, vast majority of vaccines administered in the UK were produced in Europe as they aren't using AZ on <40 year olds.

Hoping to get my vaccine soon. I'm a 29 year old male and will be turning 30 in September. What's deemed the best vaccine for someone in my cohort? I always assumed it'd be the Pfizer one I'd get but now have the opportunity to get the J&J one quicker. Any advice?

Apologies if I'm asking an obvious question or it's been done to death btw. I trust the vaccines and the science behind them and I know side effects are extremely rare.

Just chatting to my mate who works in a pharmacy in South Dublin and she said they are roughly doing 8 vaccines a day and today all 8 were mates or relations of the pharmacy owner. Imagine it will be similar across the board

Roughly 8 vaccines a day, 5 vaccines in a vial, they throwing the other doses down the sink. This is nonsense to be honest. Pharmacies will do them as quick as they can as that's one of the criteria for getting additional stocks above the minimum quantity.

The funny thing is the vast majority only have stock of vaccines from the over 50s ones that were sent out weeks ago. Max a stores has is 50 until at least Wednesday but a lot used a couple of vials in the meantime. Pharmacy appointments will pick up the end of the week. In my place, we aren't assigning any appointments until stock arrives for obvious reasons. And in all my stores, only 3 had stock while the rest had used most of their stock on the older cohorts in early June

Just take whatever you get offered! All are very effective!!

It was never going to materialise when Ireland said the month previous that if the UK did offer any vaccine, they wouldn't take it as the EU program would suffice...

Irish government then proceed to say they knew nothing of a vaccine offer

Brexit jingoism, yes.... why not call their bluff? Ireland win in both cases

There were reports too that Ireland were offered Moderna from Hungary which was also refused and Germany and Denmark sweeped up... over 500,000 doses

I'm obviously in a government loving circle jerk, so I'll leave you neckbeards to **** over your pictures of Leo and enjoy the extended lockdown measures

...and I will leave you to your own rather strange imagination and baseless claims that when challenged on you had nothing to back them up with.

amandstu · 05-07-2021 11:41PM

Didn't Edwina Curry suggest the UK could give vaccines to Ireland at some stage when on (was it the LL Show)?

And didn't Tubridy (if it was him) suggest at the time that we might be glad of the offer?

About 6 months ago perhaps if memory serves.

There was jingoistic spitballing by the UK, at a time when they had nothing to give (they still don't), to impress their local media only.

I really hope we starr to here about how the vaccine roll out leads to an end game here in Ireland

Eggwina hasn`t been an M.P. for close to a quarter century. I would not put much store on her rambling on the LLS .

When is the UK projected to have all adults fully vaccinated?

I don't think we have a date. Their vaccination programme has run into some trouble and has slowed down considerably.
