    I thought Holohan said there was data coming out from public health England that the vaccines weren't as effective against the India variant? Or was he misquoted?

    The fact that they do work is brilliant, but completely unsurprising

    Unfortunately RTE didn’t follow up on this ( on the RTE news app anyway), they only reported Mr H’s comments.

    This is something that's annoyed me throughout the whole pandemic. Maybe they ask these sort of questions, but we never see it. :confused: It appears as if they treat Tony as some messiah, and worship at his alter, rather than do their job - which is to investigate and report. If Tony makes these grand statements, he should be asked for this rational? On what grounds is he saying this? The UK are reporting that this Indian variant is not as bad as initially feared - now, where have I heard that before (SA, California, Brittany, etc, etc, etc):eek:

    Can you quantify "very poorly"? I'd be interested to see what numbers they have.

    33% after 1st dose, for context original strain was over 80% for 1st dose, but 2nd dose gives over 85% so it's not all bad.

    Any word on a shortage of AZ? I know 4 people all 60 who registered on the first available date but are still waiting on an appointment. Everybody aged 61+ and late 50s that we know are vaccinated. The under 60s were Pfizer. They all contacted the call centre and were just told that they shouldn't be waiting so long and it would be marked for escalation.


    I don't believe that has anything to do with the supply of AZ. That age group can & was given just about all of the. Some centers are way behind others. Dublin is on the low 50s & even starting on the 40s. other centres still have some 60s left to get through

    Where are you getting the data for those figures?

    The boosters are there to keep the antibody/t-cell count high so there is an expected drop off, but 33% sounds very low given the mutations are already present in other variants.

    J&J being 1 shot has shown to have long lasting high immunity levels meaning a second shot isn't required (particular vs. severe disease and death).

    I'm sure there's a more detailed report: https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-pfizer-vaccine-nearly-90-effective-against-indian-variant-public-health-england-study-finds-12314048
    The wording is a little weird, they are suggesting 2 weeks after the 2nd dose of AZ, it's 60% effective against the Indian variant compared to 66% with the Kent variant.
    All the data presented by PHE had AZ up in the high 80/low 90% efficiency at a time when the Kent strain was dominant in the UK. All of a sudden it's now 66% effective???

    Nervtag UK published them

    33% is very low yes, 2nd dose is needed based on report they published as it increased to 81% with both doses.

    J&J wasn't in use, so no data to prove one dose is enough against Indian. With 33% efficacy from Pfizer/Moderna/AZ its unlikely J&J one and done is enough.

    It's hard to try and collate all of the data coming out online, but I've found an epidemiologist who does a great job of updating the efficacy once there is data to back it up. Most recent chart below, along with the link to the page.

    All those cross comparison percentage efficacy rates are meaningless unless you know exposure rate to each variant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,839 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Don't know to be honest, my mum has said she's 'waiting to see' whatever that means, worried she has read some of the unsubstantiated claims online about the vaccines online and won't get them because of that. I appreciate vaccine hesitance because of clots issue, but don't think it's because of that, she said she doesn't fear Covid as much anymore, but she would be considered in groups that are at risk.

    All you can do is support them and give them any proper information if they ask. You are very well up on everything but maybe too close.
    Is your GP any good ? Could you ask him or her to discuss it with them ?
    Or have they contact with any nurses they trust who might go through the pluses and ...pluses with them ?
    I am so sorry as I know you must be worried for them .

    I'm not sure what you mean by exposure rate?

    Clinical trials are usually done with various vaccines, at different times (so different strains) and with a different demographic. So that's 3 variables, which means making vaccine to vaccine comparison on efficiency a little meaningless.

    PHE compared 2 vaccines at the start of the year (AZ & Pfizer) when the Kent strain was dominant, it found AZ was ~90% effective after 2 doses.
    Based on new reports, it appears AZ is now only 66% effective against the Kent variant.

    I wish they would just crunch the numbers and say:
    unvaccinated: X% chance of hospitalisation.
    1 dose of X vaccine against Y strain: Z% chance of hospitalisation.
    2 doses of X vaccine against Y strain: W% chance of hospitalisation.
    etc...

    It's very simple, anyone hospitalized with covid would be tested. You can check the strain they have (with hospitalizations so low, it's extremely important strains are sequenced). They can also access records if the patient was vaccinated and which vaccine it was. They would also know if they received 2 doses and how long after a dose they may have contracted covid.

    Sounds simple to me.

    Relative efficacy only matters when we are not supply limited.

    Until then, the best protection comes from not being exposed, and that requires all available doses to be used.

    The fine tuning can happen over autumn/winter when we're swimming in vaccines.

    That doesn't work. The particular centre did all 61+ plus and then moved on to 50s but skipped 60 year Olds.

    Well the main substance of the PHE report is to get 2nd doses out ASAP particularly with AZ. Lots due 2nd doses around now to end of June particularly with HCW. Hopefully they will be sped up where possible

    What I would like to see is more detail provided in our daily figures, as in who's getting infected.

    So people get a sense how good the vaccines are

    524 daily cases

    500 cases in non vaccinated/ previous non pcr confirmed

    24 cases in vaccinated etc

    With the 45 year olds registering today is there any word on if we're moving on to the 44-40s from tomorrow or if we have to wait a few days?

    Data is available on the BBC news app. I'm on phone at the moment and can't post links.

    The UK decision to spread out the first & 2nd dose might come back to bite them in the ass. 12 weeks between first and second dose of pfizer when it should be 4 weeks

    I'm getting so antsy about it. I mean I know that if we aren't invited to start registering from tomorrow it's because we would be waiting longer to get an actual appointment. But I've had it in my head all week that I might get to register on Wednesday and I don't want to wait!:o

    Hi folks, im due to get my vaccine tomorrow afternoon... i seem to have developed a headcold over the weekend.. its only slight, definitely have had worse ! Was hoping i might be better by tomorrow but so far there is no sign of it clearing ! I cant seem to find any info anywhere which says whether there are any stipulations to getting the vaccine while having a cold/flu etc. Do any of you know if i can still go ahead and get it ?

    There are probably a fair few infections in the days immediately after vaccination due to the protection not properly kicking in.

    But if people see that there were 40 cases in vaccinated individuals many would panic and the likes of ISAG would be on rte saying the vaccines aren't working etc. Even if those 40 cases were within a few days of the first dose.

    I am getting Pfizer tomorrow. I have been looking forward to it for a long time but weirdly the closer I get to the jab, the more nervous I get. I suppose mRNA is still an experimental/trial vaccine and not a true vaccine by traditional standards. I will certainly take it but I will do so under the knowledge that I will be genetically modified tomorrow :)
    Did anyone else feel apprehensive the closer they got to the jab?

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Based on past experience, it's highly likely they'll just make an announcement today or tomorrow saying "alright lads, vaccine portal for 40-44 year olds is opening today".

    We're so used to getting weeks or months notice of appointments that the speed of the vaccination programme is still catching us off guard.

    It is not experimental or trial. The experiments and trials have completed long ago. One entire country has been vaccinated with it. No bravery is required here. :)

    Sure, but they probably aren't doing that. I honestly don't think the medical community is as worried about the variants as the media are about it, no variant so far has shown an immune escape which is really the only thing to be worried about.

    What would be a worry is for people who won't get vaccinated for whatever reason, the virus will become endemic at least until the world is vaccinated, those at risk (older than 40 or have a condition) and not getting vaccinated are not going to have a great life for the next 18 months.
    Wolf359f wrote: »

    Thanks for that, so it's not a reduced effectiveness but a comparison of those presenting with symptoms and/or tested after being dosed with 1 shot of a vaccine and looking at the incidence of those variants vs. incidence in the non-vaccinated. It also doesn't cover when people got infected (1 week after dose 1 vs. 12 weeks after dose 1 for example) but is really saying that if you're on a 2 shot dosing schedule go back and get the second shot.

    This doesn't look like it would cause a worry for J&J given that their phase 3 trials were done when similar variant strains were around but there is no data in those studies covering J&J so it's only possible to make educated guesses.

    Actually all vaccines are currently still in their trial stage. The ones that have been approved are currently at trial stage 4.

    Still no bravery required

    It is what happened last week. The portal opening for 45-49 was announced the afternoon before. So hopefully we'll hear later today that it's continuing down in the morning. But even if it doesn't, it doesn't mean any difference in how long it will take for us to actually get vaccinated. (I still want to register on Wednesday!)

    The CDC have changed the guidelines for detecting cases in the vaccinated, sequencing should now have an RT-PCR Ct value ≤28 for vaccinated. It remains 35-40 for the unvaccinated depending on manufacturer.
    I'm not sure why they don't have the same value for both but a lower CT count is going to produce lower cases so it's not really comparing like for like if you've different guidence for different people.
    If we were to start reporting cases in each group I'd hope we would keep the tests the same.

    It would be interesting to see it broken down by region and place of infections, Limerick for example is being called out for people not behaving but the University Hospital is over capacity again with 83 people on trolleys the other day, that environment can't be great for controlling spread.

    I'm not sure they'll release the data based on what Micky32 said above.

    Are they doing it by birth year or by birth date? i.e. does someone born in 1976 count as 45 or do they have to wait for their birthday to have passed before they can register.

    Yes by year of birth. Which makes sense in terms of portal design.

    It's in the news properly now but numbers against Indian variant look very similar to SA variant:
    https://www.breakingnews.ie/covid-vaccine/vaccines-offer-high-levels-of-protection-against-indian-variant-1131368.html

    I'd also call issue with them saying 33% effective vs. 50% effective for UK variant vs. original strain when really effectiveness is keeping severe symptoms away and not dying which they don't mention at all... (let alone that later vaccines efficacy reports will be with the new strains in their trials so Curvac, J&J, Novavax numbers won't be comparable to AZ/Pfizer/Moderna).

    Lots of people seem to forget there was a 6 day gap between the portal opening from 50 to 49 year olds.

    Yeah, would expect similar here.

    Think so far the portal has roughly an average opened every 2 weeks?

    Opens and has 5 separate registration days and then closes for about 1 - 1.5 weeks again.

    Roughly.

    There was a gap between each decade but no gap within each decade. So a gap between 60 and 59 and between 50 and 49 but no gap from 65 to 64 or 55 to 54. Which is why everyone is wondering. Will the 40s be the first decade to have a gap within it. Which there could be as it's a larger demographic.

    Yes there's a large misunderstanding really when the word effective is used.

    I don't think most of the public really understand what is meant by efficency of the vaccine but that's the fault of the reporting on such.

    I expect there will be 3/4 days gap before the portal opens for 40 - 44.
