I think they were estimating somewhere between 200 and 300k AZ doses will go to waste (we still have carry over from March to use). Not disastrous given the recent Pfizer news though I really hope there's some pragmatism when it comes to J&J.

Some Curevac doses in June would be nice.

I can still see the AZ age being lowered. 45 seems to be a good number to me and I think when the 50-60 group starts rolling out that it will change to cover this group as well; so that won’t be until early May at best. Could be wrong, but that’s what I think will eventually happen.

I presume RTE will be leading with this story today then? :rolleyes:

Hell no, they are in a nursing home in Leitrim where the residents are distraught that the Wednesday afternoon bingo hasn't re-started yet.

Interesting…….

On other news RTE reporting we are getting 545k extra pfizer vaccines.

The head of the GPs association mentioned it but looking at the numbers I can't see that happening.

Need about 220k for 2nd doses and then I'm going to say the roughly 300k (could be more) in the 60-69 age group is going to be AZ as well. 2 doses there.

They'll use most of it factoring in some of the 60-69 will be vaccinated as part of the at risk groups with Pfizer or Moderna

Anyone in the 60-69 age group who gets first dosed in April won't be due second dose until Q3 so I think that's where "200k - 300k of Q2 supply going unused" comes from. We'll probably be getting more supply again in Q3.

Yes, top story on their new page and one of the first on their Radio 1 news bulletin.

I'm convinced lads on this forum are fairly detached from reality when they whinge that RTE are only interested in bad news and runs from the good.

reality is rte is a click bait organisation running on clicks for bad news and state sponsored bullsh1t to keep us locked up they have been spreading fear and terror for 15 months on this covid-you might have missed this yourself for the last year or something

Its conformation bias - people expect to see bad news on RTE and have decided that all RTE present on Covid is bad news so thats all they see / hear.

In reality, there are just as many positive as negative stories

Add 500k to that for Pfizer, so taking out AZ and, presumably, J&J, leaves 3m doses between Moderna and Pfizer for Q2.

Good .
No need to remove AZ as yet because those doses will be used on the 60 to 69 age group and 2 nd doses.
And we might have J& J back soon too .

It's a fact that RTE have been a joke during this, this isn't the thread to discuss it so I won't be saying further, but it's a fact.

That's just not true. And you know why people expect to see bad news? Because they more often than not focus on the negatives. Case in point this morning on Morning Ireland and their presenters (whether they are ill-informed or ignorant is another matter) choosing to discuss the J&J vaccine as if the pause is permanent. Not mentioning that the FDA said it would only take a matter of days. That is selective journalism, and misrepresentation of the facts.

No . I am replying to your assertion that young people are being asked to take a vaccine that is a danger to them .

Everyday every significant positive story is greeted with a chorus of posters declaring "you wont hear a word of it on RTE" usually followed within a short period of time with it being reported on RTE. Its tiresome in the extreme

Yes . What a pity they aren't ensuring that the Palestinians are getting their supplies.
Then it really would be " hurrah for Israel"

I agree in general, but every evening on the news there's at least 2 "And here's Mary Murphy, living in rural Cavan...." followed by some tediously boring self-story.
We all have our own story from this pandemic - we don't need to be bombarded with more of them.
If they need that to fill the 6 o'clock news, they should shorten it instead.

It will be very interesting to watch UK figures compared to Israel, with the different mix of vaccines. Of course there are lots of other variables, be we can certainly learn a lot from the counties coming out of this ahead of us.

Given that the 'coming out' will be a protracted affair, I wouldn't be so sure that the UK will fully emerge before we do.

Took this scrolling screenshot on the morning of the 20th of November about RTÉ burying good news. The good news is more than halfway down the page, *well* below the fold. What's front and center? A hospital outbreak story, not the article with the good news about a 90% drop in fatality from the second wave. RTÉ is, and have always been, shítty.

Anyway, last I'm saying because it's gonna derail the thread.

The journalism in RTE is generally sh*te and lazy. Doesn't mean outright nonsense should be left unchallenged

RTÉ’s top story is about the extra vaccines and their 2nd story is about Zebo returning to Munster.

They’re all out with the good news today.
