Paul Reid just mentioned they had a figure of approximately 4,000 GP jabs given up to last night. Numbers aren't firm but still a very poor return.

It's not a poor return as up to Sunday this week is 12k planned. Was all announced last week that it was only around 80 practises being trialled this week

Is almost as if the are thousands of people who have received their first Pfizer dose and need to get their second and supplies for the over 85's come from the same bucket

Expected supply for remainder of Q1, 898,218

I thought Reid said there would be 12k jabs administered by GP's this week to over 85's.
If not then my bad.

Are GP's running 7 days a week?

Great news - how can another 60,000 first doses go into cohort 2? How many are in that group?

They only have 12,000 jabs or so this week so that's a third of shots.

Are frontline a mix of groups 2 and 4?

So to use all of those we'd be hitting 150k a week for March?

There shouldn't be. That group was supposed to be about 95K. More likely to be group 4 I reckon.

That's a good scaling up of vaccination

Would suspect so. Have seen plenty of admin workers in the HSE I know getting first vaccinations this week with others registered.

Have they stated those numbers for the remainder of Q1 or is it an estimate of something?

That's still a fair bit lower than the others

Nah, there's something still funky in that data. It's showing 199,980 doses distributed to Ireland.

But the HSE are reporting 280,851 doses administered as of Monday.

So there are least that many have been distributed to Ireland, likely far more.

So we're at least at 7.4 doses per 100 population.

Yeah but that's not saying that they will hit 140K a week or use up all of that total in Q1.

We may not be there and my attitude to it is if they ain't said it it's not happening. Plans for next week have been set based on stocks, those for the middle of March not so much yet.

Anyone know if this will affect Europe's J&J supply?

Paul Reid said we are expecting delivery of 1 million vaccines a month from April. That's very exciting news.

Maybe not. We have done a decent job to date administering the supply we have available. We now have data that we "should" have 1.2 million doses by the end of Q1. We have the taoiseach saying we "should" have administered 1.1 million doses by the end of Q1. If supply matches the projections and unless these are heavily distributed into the last week of March I dont see why scaling up should be an issue. If it is that then becomes an entirely different conversation.

hmmm

Interesting study results from Ischgl in Austria, which had one of the earliest and widest virus outbreaks in Europe.
https://tirol.orf.at/stories/3090797/

They tracked antibody levels in April and November, and there had been only a small decrease which is good news for long-term immunity.

They also did a T-cell study, and if I'm reading the translated quote below correctly they found T-cell responses even in those where the antibody detection had faded.

""A T-cell immune response could also be demonstrated in samples with hardly any or no longer detectable antibody titers, which underpins the role of cellular immunity after Covid-19," said von Laer. It cannot therefore be ruled out that immunity exists even if no more antibodies can be detected in the tests used."

Was talking to someone this morning and their patents vaccine which was due to be done today was cancelled as the vaccine delivery didn’t happen. Next delivery will be in 2 weeks apparently.

I don't disagree. I'm just wary of people, especially politicians, making claims just to be positive. Donnelly has been doing the Tigger routine since January! Positivity is good but let's keep the future projections under control. Underpromise and overdeliver is the motto for this!
