Yup we’ve had a full house in the NPHET bingo card this week

It’s almost as if the government are about to announce easing of restrictions..........

3 cases associated with travel. Indian variant isn't a worry anyway so doesn't really matter.

Ya it was headline RTÉ news for a few hours.

Easily dismissing any variant at this stage would be fool hardy at best if not fatal.

It's well documented in various sources that it hasn't the mutations necessary for increased transmissibility or vaccine evasion.

That's a roundabout way of admitting you have a hunch but zero knowledge to back it up.

Vaccine registration for 64 year olds opening today, with 63, 62, 61 and 60 year olds each day after. I wonder when 50-59 year olds will be done

Wondering the same here. Does anyone know how long it takes from date of registration to date of vaccine?

Treehelpplease · 23-04-2021 12:19pm

The turnover from 65-69 to 60-64 was definitely faster than I expected, hopefully it keeps going like that.

sporina · 23-04-2021 12:32pm

a mate of mine who's 38 got a call from his GP to see if he wants the vaccine next week.. he has a v mild condition of sorts.. wouldn't begrudge him but just shows flaws in the system when there are others who would be higher in the priority list waiting longer than him.. and he didn't ask to be expedited.

whatever76 · 23-04-2021 2:12pm

I'm now of the opinion that I know way more now that have been fully vaccinated or in process of for multiple reason ( age, job, health reasons, ) than had Covid (I know of 5 people between work and family ) so I am taking that as a positive sign ...

JP Liz V1 · 23-04-2021 2:28pm

I got my first dose from GP today of Pfizer as I was in category 4 and/or 7, asthmatic

sunbabe08 · 23-04-2021 3:44pm

Was told this morning that my gp still working through the over 70. My parents are probably gonna get this vaccine before me at this stage. They can register next week

are you hoping to get it sooner than later for medical reasons?

marno21 · 23-04-2021 11:07pm

CUH down to 1 patient. Mercy has 2.

0 in ICU in Cork.

Brilliant stuff atm

Considering I’m diabetic type 2 I thought I would get it sooner. Silly me I suppose

You should get it soon, I would contact your GP again

No matter type 1 or 2, diabetes is high risk

I hope you get it soon, take care

i would have thought so as well, but my doctor pretty much told me that there was no spares and they were still going through over 70s.

My brother was jumped up the list due to having type 2 diabetes. He's 59.
The call came from his consultant, not his gp.

ACitizenErased · 24-04-2021 3:50pm

My father's after being offered 4 times. He's technically group 4 but a HCW so got done first week in January. All of his consultants referred him. Mental how some are getting 4-5 referrals and others none at all.

From what I’m hearing type 2 diabetics that attend the hospital clinics have been called through the hospital, not their GP

5 deaths (RIP) 461 cases, no county breakdown

Treehelpplease · 24-04-2021 11:28pm

Would all the people be vacinated by Pfizer be counted in the numbers released by the government? All of their staff have been done and with families being done now that surely must be 100K people

ofcork · 24-04-2021 11:31pm

100k people???

Widdensushi · 25-04-2021 12:07am

Not 100k but in the tens of thousands possibly and this would be extra to the government rollout

Chuck Noland · 25-04-2021 1:17pm

Almost 120,000 people jabbed Wednesday Thursday and Friday combined. Absolutely fantastic to finally see those numbers and meeting targets. Hopefully all the issues are resolved now and we can keep bettering these numbers

how many workers do they have? I was assuming 20k workers with each getting an average 5 people vacciniated including themselves. maybe that's way too much

The weekend Vaccination numbers look to be very strong this week first doses stood at 966,661 on Friday but Taoiseach has confirmed today we are passed 1 million first doses. So minimum 34,000ish first doses on top of second doses for the weekend. More Great news in roll out and please god we can keep getting the numbers where they need to be

Ludo · 25-04-2021 7:17pm

I met three different unrelated people of varying ages this morning all of whom were getting their first shot this afternoon in cit ( or MTU whatever it is called now). Definitely a good ramp up underway. Good to see.
