I'm not sure whether you are moaning on your own behalf or on behalf of the old people, so let me invent a hypothetical old person, Gramps, for me to direct my scorn.

Look Gramps, we largely shut down the country to keep you alive. Young people lost their jobs, put on hold their social lives, their sex lives. Businesses have been ruined. Self-employed people have ploughed their entire life savings into keeping their heads above water. You were prioritised for the earliest available vaccines, after the very frail and the healthcare workers (whose vaccination ensures that should you need medical care you won't get infected by them).

If your fear of variants and imperfect vaccine protection bothers you, hide under the duvet for a few weeks longer until your second dose kicks in. In the meantime, a bit of graciousness would be appreciated.

GRAMPS , ffs.

Vaccination centre opening in UCD next Monday. This might ease things at the Aviva.

Any updates on vaccinations during pregnancy, mrs is hesitant and tbh the handouts the hospital gave her would put you right off, asked staff and they didn't really know much about it (seriously???).

Mine is the same boat there isn't a pile of information to go on.

Honestly stunned at how bad the info pack actually is, mrs was given what looks like a bad photocopy handout like we used to get at school.

If you know a few people that have done it would it not be best to ask them?

I know two 60 year olds who did that today, as there are problems locally with their age group, and both were told the GPs were either finished and doing no more or not doing 'healthy' people.

If be wary of people’s stories on this sort of thing, they may be fibbing so as to not be telling people that they are group 4. All you can do is ring your doctor but I’d say the chances are they’ll have plenty of candidates ahead of you.

How much Pfizer is being administered versus Moderna?

As in, what's the supply of both and the ratio difference? It's hard to see now that we don't have Vaccination breakdowns due to the hack

Maybe a 5:1 ratio? (the 5 being Pfizer obviously)

Maybe even more?

Last time we had proper days there were 1,278,103 pfizer administered and 90,956 moderna administered.

So about 14 times more pfizer than Moderna.

If its late August or early September you might be double jabbed without trying to skip the Q. They are motoring through them now.

Shouldn’t be too long. I would expect it to open sometime this week or at the latest on Monday.

Current supply is 182k Vs 32.5k. In June it will be 280k Vs 36k.

Anyone know when 27 year olds are expected to get their first dose? Roughly speaking?

Supposedly if you had covid already J&J can hit you hard like getting covid again for a day or two, anecdotal observations from doctors in USA.

There is a good vaccinated thread on reddit with a load of J&J experiences, won't be much experience here with J&J

That will be a nice ramping up of Pfizer. How much AZ and JJ will there be?

If they stick to the age cohorts it will be the end of July, not June

We are due a big delivery of AZ this week - 160k doses. June is unknown.
J&J might continue to trickle in but it is pretty much irrelevant due to restrictions.

If memory serves there's two main Covid sub Reddits

Which do you find the best for information on vaccines?

I got the Janssen (J&J) this morning. Feeling fine so far. Arm is a bit sore around the injection area but no other side effects so far.

Am I right in calculating ~14 days until a 33 year old can register for a vaccine?

Love having a tangible target to count down to

Hopefully I’m 32, love to know when we can register but we’ll have to be patient I suppose!
