Thats only 50k per day. Easily achieved mid 30s on a number of days with only a small portion of the MVC's in operation. We have the capacity, just need the supplies

One might argue that this lack of supplies at present is also a opportunity to road test the processes in MVCs a bit more.

80% of adult population. We're at about 33% already. So by my maths we have about 1.7m to do over 68 days, which is about 25k/day.

That's only 0.5% total population per day, although that doesn't factor in second doses.

I welcome maths checking!

33% that is total doses, only 24% of adults have received a first dose so far.

The delay is irritating but in practical terms it makes little difference. We've only got 14k doses of J&J in fridges and the delayed decision won't be holding up further deliveries.

They said probably next week and we have very little J&J supply as it stands.

We had the exact same faffing around from NIAC in relation to AZ when a number of other countries had long since moved on it. It's inexcusable.

I think we're at ~23% of first doses currently? 880k/3.8m?

Edit: beaten to it.

Just from experience at the moment. GP was hesitant in seeing a family member because of covid

In hospital just kind of left there daily. Doctors nurses porters and cleaners very hesitant in being around a covid patient

I thought this is what vaccinating them was for ?

JP100

Just to give things some context. Over the past 7 days the EU average for vaccinations into people's arms is running at 31% higher than that of what is happening in Ireland. That's the sort of level we are presently operating here at in this country.

Not the correct division of vax administered through groupings obviously, and it's from January's predictions, but it is a nice handy-to-colour in chart for a visual. ~50k vax per bar. Blue are the vax that have been administered.

The media really need to be all over this asking questions instead of scaremongering about about our re-opening of society being in danger.

39k vaccinated yesterday according to Paul Reid.

There are very regular updates on this by a whole host of people involved in the process. It's still about supplies and May is supposed to be a lot better.

I don’t bother following this nonsense closely anymore but it seems like nothing has changed.

Doesn’t matter that over 1M of our most vulnerable are vaccinated. Doesn’t matter that there is less than 50 in ICU. Doesn’t matter that hospitals are near empty.

We’re still obsessed with case numbers. A small increase for a day or two and the entire mood changes.

Hard to see lockdown ending over here. We’ll need the rest of the world to lead for us.

Oh yeah, no ramp at all. Still running along where we were in January

20k a day, wow, somebody break out the medals!

Or even better, somebody remind them that hundreds of thousands of people are currently ****ed and desperately needing society to reopen, that we really could do with them getting their ass in gear for once.

Yeah, yeah, blame the supplies, its not their fault, nothing they can do, excuses excuses excuses. But even the most die hard government shills must see how galling it is that in January the UK were able to do half a million doses a day yet as we approach May still Ireland is still scratching around in the tens of thousands. Up North they are vaccinating people in their thirties while down here they are patting themselves on the back for finally getting the over 80's done.

Excuses, excuses, excuses, thats all I'm going to hear next, but the vaccine rollout here is piss poor and people should be demanding much more.

I don't care what spin merchants like Paul Reid selectively say for one day in a week. The fact of the matter is that over the past 7 days, we've vaccinated 31% less people than our EU colleagues.

No point in celebrating a 40k day when we have 5k days every weekend. Most of Western Europe is averaging 0.55 to 0.6 per 100 vaccinated over 7 days. We are still languishing at under 0.4

Do we have the supplies to do that number?

We are pulling from the exact same supply pool as the other WE countries. Most have also restricted Astra. We are last in terms of our vaccination rate in Western Europe and have been since April 14th.

Incredibly frustrating, I could rant on about this but I'm simply lost with the failings in this country.

They just seem to be successful at frightening the public with their terrible media approach...

Cancer research has been put back 2 years by the Covid disruption according to the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London.

Not surprising really.

That's not really answering the question, though.

As far as I am aware, we are administering 95-97% of vaccines within one week of receipt.

On second thought, probably more useful is the chart for just first vaxxes - forgive my 1337 mspaint skillz.

First vax only, red has been administered, green is the targeted 80%. (Again, these were Jan's predictions, the vaxxed groupings aren't accurate, just using it for total numbers because it's just an easy chart to mess with; and it will be inaccurate near the end of the yellow because there should be a higher percentage of seconds etc.)

Official confirmation now, Dublin losing all 3 Euro matches. Moved from Dublin to St. Petersburg.

That was inevitable, we were not going to be in a position to properly manage the crowd situation at the required time. Even if we were, I doubt the authorities would welcome the additional responsibility anyway.

An abundance of caution and a dearth of planning ability means that we ran away from the hope of managing a football tournament.

Although it's a loss for sport, it is probably for the best, we would have made a balls of it (excuse the pun) anyway.

Really? Not even London? Could they have tried to get any further away?

state/taxpayer can expect to dig even deeper now to keep the FAI afloat...

And don't forget a slow, unnecessary body in the form of NIAC. They went against EMA advise on AZ and are dragging their feet on J&J while shots sits in storage unused. We should disband NIAC and take EMA advice.

We have destroyed our economy and many livelihoods over the last 14 months due to the circulation of a very dangerous virus. Yet, a 1 in 250,000 chance of developing a clot and 1 in 1,000,000 chance of death are considered enough to restrict the rollout of a vaccine which has shown a greater than 95% efficacy.

You can also blame the fact we are a very litigous nation where judges award enormous damages.

hmmm

We're nearly there. No sense in "doing a Chile" and reopening too fast and too early and going back into a lockdown. We're getting huge increases in vaccine supply over the next few weeks.

We'll be at the same stage as Israel are by the end of June, and they are 90% reopened with case numbers and deaths dropping all the time.
