Just onto my GP, they're still vaxxing over 70s. (large city clinic)
That means they haven't even started over 60s yet .. seems mad?
But have me on their priority list (Cat4) and will get a shout soon(ish)

The Gps are not vaccinating the over 60 they are allocated a centre to go to

Some GPs don't seem to be doing Cohort 7 vaccinations, leaving patients unclear what to do

Many GPs are not doing cat4 and 7 by choice. The MVC have not even rescheduled the folks in high risk that were cancelled few weeks ago, me included.

I posted it. Then said "naaah" and deleted it to recheck what I had posted. But now even Derek Lowe is picking up on it.

It sounds like it was probably a manufacturing error. Now why this wasn't picked up by quality control is a good question. Either way I'm very glad we didn't take the advice of who-ever told us to get this vaccine.

I think Sputnik is probably the only vaccine I'd genuinely be hesitant to take.

Fella I work with is Hungarian and got the Sputnik vaccine back home. He's in his early 30s and fairly fit. Completely laid him low for 2 weeks. He said he never experienced any illness like it.

If we were at 1,452,434 on Tuesday


Should be hitting the 1.5 million dose mark today.

Doesn't feel too long since the 1 million mark was hit.

Thursday the 8th of April I believe. So c. 500k in 19 days.

I've done that several times..waste of time..they ONLY take registrations for 60+

Also tried my consultant..

All directed me back to GP..

Really, really super seeing the amount of posters in here recently chatting about being vaccinated. There's a real sense of progress, and it's great to see the mood shifting.

My own parents are early 60s and are awaiting a vaccination date, and many of my aunts and uncles have already received a first jab. The relief is tangible, and I look forward to seeing my parents improving their own personal sense of security post jab.

The psychological weight of the past 12 months, compounded by the constant media and never ending sense of fear and worry, has been incredible for everyone. Let alone those in the 25% unemployed, and anyone who has witnessed the loss of friends or family to the virus.

It'll only be when we get out the other side of it that we'll truly realise what we went through, but today I'm glad that end is near.

Up to 0.6 per 100 per day, 7 day average now. Massive improvement on last week, we are up nearly 50%. Hopefully we can maintain at least 40k per day for Wednesday to Friday and maybe even hit a 50k day.

If it's been pushed back to GPs you'd naturally expect some delay while they organise themselves.

TheDoctor

It does feel as though this program has finally really got going.

Does anyone have a link to the spreadsheet?

The Irish Times article two weeks ago basically stated that cohort 7 vaccinations wouldn’t begin until mid May due to the switch to GP administration as a consequence of the AZ debacle.

GPs just rang back and advised I may get a call today...a phone call to them really pays off!!

Tuesday's numbers.

Worth noting the clear difference in the effectiveness of Western vaccines vs Chinese and Russian vaccines in stopping the spread of Covid.

There are 6 large countries with over 70 shots per 100, 3 are using just Western vaccines and 3 are using a mix of both but primarily Chinese vaccines.

The Western countries are averaging 68 cases per million with an average of 86 doses per 100 and the counties using Chinese vaccines are averaging 381 cases per million with an average of 83.5 shots per 100.

Excuse the crude calculation but I definitely see a pattern emerging. Also I am not saying the Chinese vaccines don't work, or don't help to reduce the spread (because it looks like they do) just that they are far less effective than Pfizer, Moderna and AZ.

7-day average of vaccines given now just over 30k per day!

Big jump coming next week
