    Hi all, I should have had my second shot yesterday (Pfizer - City Hall Cork), but I'm still waiting on an appointment. Anyone know approximately how long the delay is at the moment? Have a lot of travel within the country to plan this week, and have to go abroad with work next week, so trying to plan.

    How many weeks since the first jab? I was told in Cork that the wait is currently 5 weeks between doses. (Heard 3 and 4 weeks other places)

    Report here from Canada (was on r/covid) corroborating with previous PHE findings on efficacy of mRNA and AZ/ChAdOx1 against Delta and other variants.
    https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.28.21259420v1

    Seems more positive than the Israeli news which again might be from particular health providers with limited data, however it might be that efficacy lowers when a society is fully or nearly unrestricted, such as in Israel where the number of fully vaccinated seems to have stalled at 60% and below the threshold of herd immunity for Delta.

    Overall, the outlook is unpredictable, and the government here has found a balance. We can surf on feel-good tweets #vaccinesworkbitches etc but realistically we won't know fully until we reach herd immunity and whether high rates in other partially vaccinated countries generate further dangerous mutations, although probably not.

    I'd expect Ireland and the UK, plus Canada, to be the first to herd immunity. I'm a little worried that by end of July / Aug with high rates of Covid it will be difficult to travel again and my children will be vulnerable to infection in school but thankfully, at least, we are not taking the English approach which again seems not just reckless, but stupid.

    Regarding travel. Will we be allowed travel the day after getting a second dose (or one dose for J&J) or can we only travel whenever the vaccine is deemed effective after last dose (2 weeks in the case of J&J)? This isn't clear from the information in the media or on citizens information.

    After the 2 weeks.

    Depends on the Vaccine, 7 days from 2. Pfizer shot, 14 day after First (and only) J&J shot and so on. Information is on HSE.ie.
    It's unclear how to obtain the proof of vaccination that enables travel at the moment, but allegedly we will be able to obtain it from the 19. July

    It was 4 weeks on Sunday. If it falls on 5 weeks I'll be out of the country. I'll then have to isolate on return so it could be an extra two weeks before I can get it. I assume that won't be an issue with the HSE?

    Will those 30 to 34s be able to grab a Janssen when they register this week?

    Appointments starting from next week... those Romanian doses coming in handy so.

    They had initially said 25-29 early August for registration from Pfizer & Moderna, would expect that to be brought forward a few weeks as well now so

    Make sure to check the online portal if you haven't. A colleague never got a text but it was up on the portal.

    Anyone know what is happening with Pharmacy’s giving vaccine for 18-34s?

    My local pharmacy’s are not taking bookings and just say they atr waiting for stock...
    It's not like turning on a tap, there are particular dates around J&J deliveries so be patient!

    Thanks! I'm checking it a few times a day but still nothing. A neighbour who had an appointment for the first shot 15 minutes before me is also waiting. I wouldn't be bothered normally about the wait, it's just I'm hoping I won't have to delay it further due to travel commitments.

    To add to this - two of the pharmacies I contacted last week took the weekend to look at numbers etc. and realised they can't do vaccines because of staff shortages, etc.

    Considering we had expected a big slow down in the vaccinations through July the change to JJ/AZ plus the extra doses from Romanie means July is going to be a serious month. Should be seen big figures. End line in sight lads.

    They are showing no increase in J&J since Sunday (still on 72k), makes sense as presumably the pharmacies probably won't be updating their tallies daily.

    Expect to see large jumps in J&J at the end of the week perhaps.

    HSE site says pharmacy totals arent included.

    J&J went down 1 yesterday weirdly enough.

    After the 2 weeks.

    So are border personel expected to check the date of your vaccine and know the time for a particular vaccine to become effective? Seems a big ask.

    Called 8 pharmacies today and none taking bookings for J&J. One took a booking for Pfizer somehow so I’m currently waiting for that.

    Is there a separate portal opening Monday for J&J? 30yo here.

    I'm pretty sure the covid digital pass would do that for them.

    The media giving dribs and drabs of info as usual. So the portal is open to 30+ from tomorrow but no time stated. Is it from midnight tonight? from 6am? from 9am?

    I think it more to do with the lack of uptake in 35-39 group than anything.

    More or so want the J&J causes its one shot and done

    You'd be at a disadvantage with the others because there 2 shots and the vaccine passport is only for the fully vaccinated
