The 60-64 age group are getting a different vaccine to the high risk groups. It wouldn't make any sense to wait for high risk to be done.

Over 60s are getting AZ and cohorts 4 and 7 aren’t. There’s no reason to delay the over 60s because the AZ vaccines can’t be prioritised for anyone else.

Are hospital consultants going through their patient list and getting urgent people vaccinated?

The reporting on HSE and the Covid hub seems to be a bit out of line with the cohorts now. Cohort 5 has 4423 first doses done as at Tuesday which I assume is 65-69 but the hub still shows that as being high risk 65-69?

About 20k done on Tuesday

Hmmzis

Mum got her first dose today (Moderna). That's now all the vulnerable in my immediate family with at least one dose. The mind is getting more at ease.

About 5000 AZ. Hopefully that's down to lag rather than an accurate reflection of the MVCs.

Exactly , at this stage they'll be vaccinating the 30s and many high risk will still be waiting...

This feels on the low side? Or is it as expected this week?

The auld tart on RTE radio seems to be against vaccine passports.

I think its a case of what a famous Prussian General said back in the 19th Century-

" No battle plan survives the first contact with the enemy! " or words to that effect. I'll accept that rationale, so long as it doesn't descend into a keystone cops scenario...

Best Tuesday yet I think.

They won’t because under 60s, high risk or not, will be getting Pfizer or Moderna. Both of those will be prioritised for high risk people before moving on to the general population. Over 60s got lucky with the AZ ruling but they’re the only group that will be getting vaccinated a bit ahead of the high risk groups.

Anecdotally yes. I know of a few this week. How they are organising it, though, is a complete mystery!

I was going to say I was disappointed by that, but as has been pointed out above, that is actually in line with previous Tuesdays. Not the biggest, but not far off. There may also be a lag in data that will bring it up.

gmisk

Just wondering if anyone here in NI had a vaccine?
I am able to book an appointment now (35-39).
I didn't need NHS number, dob and address was sufficient.
I am just wondering do I need proof of address when I attend at the SSE? (Have UK passport etc for photo ID)
I can go home to get a letter or something but would be a serious trek!, Is it something they are checking?

3rd highest with 20010

6 april (21004) and 30 March (20885) were higher.

So we're saying that current vaccinations are:

Remaining over 70s: Pfizer
65-69s: AZ
High Risk/Very High Risk: Pfizer

It will be interesting to see what happens next in the MVCs when over 60s are done, which could be quite soon in some regions. The GP rollout is slow, with deliveries every other week. I think it's unlikely group 7 will be finished before the MVCs could be on to over 50s. I don't particularly have a problem with that, but I imagine it will cause a lot of outrage.

Does anyone have a rough estimate of the daily vaccination numbers in City West .I am just curious really .

When should we expect to see the 65-69 year olds' doses reflected in the dashboard, today, tomorrow, next week?

The press have photos this morning of queues at Aviva. They really have to sort this out by not letting people jump the queue by arriving early. No sign of social distancing either.

Definetly needs to be sorted in City West .A friend of mine arrived on time and queued for 50 minutes due to people arriving far too early .

Yeah, groups 4 & 7 seem to have become a bit of a black hole. I've no problem with any of the rollout tbh, I realise its down to supply which is out of HSE control. I'm way down the list anyway and tend to the view that they're the experts, let them at it. But you can't help feeling that identifying groups 4 & 7 should really have been done 6 months ago and the lists ready to go. Hard not to feel sorry for someone who is waiting for their GP or consultant to get the finger out, if it ended up that they were down to doing the 40s or 50s in MVCs in a few weeks while some vulnerable were still waiting.

I take all of that back, if that's not the actual situation on the ground. Everyone is doing their best with what they have to work with.

They are there - cohort 5. Just around 4.5k now.

Mother in law went yesterday to Cork City Hall and it was the same. She arrived 5-10 mins before her appointment time only to find a massive queue in front of her and ended up waiting nearly an hour to be seen.

I'm going off the new reported doses (todays cumulative compared to yesterday).

I'm going off the reported number for Tuesday on hse vaccine site Mondays total has changed from yesterdays report to today's.

Perhaps the report needs to be changed to "since the last update there have been x amount done " as days totals are updated after they're reported.

We don't appear to be doing very well I. The grand scheme of things:

But C5 is defined as 64-69 at high risk?
