Will you be taking a booster?

Thanks for that. So if things stay the same, I'll just need my Covid cert, positive pcr result text from the HSE and a letter from my doctor saying I'm okay to travel? That's not so bad now I don't have to worry about taking another pcr/antigen the day before I fly!

This is good news.

Hopefully the ones who “weren’t anti vax” but were refusing to get vaccinated by the mRNA vaccine, or even the others last year, will get boosted now.

im sure some will find another reason not to take this latest one. But if a proportion of them do take it, it’s a success.

If you go back and read what I wrote you would almost believe it to be true until you stand back and realise its a load of nonsense...

Guessing theres no idea yet when the Novovax vaccine will be rolled out. Would prefer to get that as a booster over Pfizer/Moderna

They have a 6 month shelf life, so would have arrived when Delta was dominant and causing havoc.

...Fauci?

If there's one thing that really puzzles me about this pandemic in Ireland it's the permeation of US politics and culture war memes (usually from the political right) into Irish conversations about dealing with the virus.

Do you live in the US? If not, what does "Anthony" have to do with your decision to take a vaccine?

Not taking it until needed for travel.

when you book an appointment you dont know which one you are going to get, would they change for this one and say that a particular centre is going to be using them?

Nothing planned yet, bud. Here's hoping they get rid of the mandate soon for travel.

With the EU putting the expiry on the 2 doses cant see them letting go by the summer they’ll need to coerce as many as possible to get the 3rd shot and it’s shown to be an effective tool.

Booster rates in the EU are between about 45% and 60%, the UK is at 55% and it will hard for countries to push it much higher than that as the virus wanes. It will be a proper tourist season versus vaccination levels and we may see most just move to negative antigen tests if they see the pandemic is over.

9 days since the last post here. It looks as if people have lost interest in being vaxxed/boosted.

No news on the radio/tv anymore. The whole Covid thing has disappeared without trace.

What a joke.

You sound disappointed.
