Thanks

How is it possible that 8 people have received a 2nd dose in Cohort 5 when they only commenced vaccination this week?

Potentially queue skippers who have now been allocated to the correct cohort.

1 million first doses hit today.

Another milestone

Sour grapes here now but how are there so many cohort 7 being vaccinated when cohort4 is not complete

Great to see!

Ireland now has 24.8% of eligible adults vaccinated with their first dose, which is in line with the EU median. They have administrated 10% of second doses to eligible adult population.

Probably very specific local circumstances. With expected supplies this all should be rectified soon enough. That old favourite - the next two weeks applies here!

It'll be interesting if we start seeing the case numbers begin to dive as well over the next 3-4 weeks, the virus will start having less and less places to go.

Any idea when the 80% target of first doses would be reached based off that?

ACitizenErased

Based on what Twitter is saying the Citywest in particular is hopping all weekend.

Big batch of Pfizer imminent, supposedly 250K of all vaccines doses in the next week or so. Know someone in Group 4 and they got Pfizer. As for AZ the plan seems to be to get over 65s done in the next 2-3 weeks.

I find 34k first doses on the weekend to be somewhat of a surprise?

I'd certainly hope not.

Yes, we should have over 50% of adult population with at least one dose by then, which should help with case decay.

yes I am daft too - if that was a qualifying condition I would have been vaccinated months ago.

If true that would magic!

I was in woodies on Thursday, the place was jammed with people in their 80s getting 10% off their garden stuff, it was an uplifting moment to see so many people who have been locked away for so long return to their stereotypically normal (tongue firmly in cheek). Covid didn’t beat us.

None of us have long to wait now.

From the vaccine dashboard, Monday to Friday we had done 145,000 doses plus a minimum of 34,000 doses on Saturday/Sunday (to get to 1 million first doses).

So, 180,000+ for the week. We are ramping up!!

USA to allow export of raw materials needed to produce vaccine to India.

I don't think it's sour grapes at all. You at least deserve to be informed that is happening when you see others leave you behind.

I know

Everythings a but with Martin unfortunately

How are supplies looking though?

Do we even have enough for 250,000?

Still Martin has said plan hasn't changed so he would have needed to be reassured of enough vaccines by the HSE

May should have 1.25 million, so 250,000 a week is par for a week.

Just wishing to share my positive news re vaccine.

I'm aged 51yrs type 2 diabetes and I received a call last Friday for a vaccine.

I'm getting 1st of two on Wednesday and 2nd four weeks later. I'm extremely happy and emotional to get offered.

My wife got hers 6 weeks ago in work she's a nurse.

She also received a call from her gp and hour ago offering her a vaccine tomorrow she's aged 59. She told them she's already sorted.

So in my opinion things are looking good re vaccines I am exctatic
