I got my vaccine today, the first one. I recently had Covid & asked the nurse if I need the second & they don't know. So how do I find out for sure?

You should get the second.

The advice in relation to having caught covid in the previous 9 months relates to the health guidelines. That is, if you had covid in the last nine months, you can consider yourself protected enough to meet other infected/vaccinated people without facemasks. You still should get vaccinated, and get both doses though.

There was some talk about only giving a single dose to people who'd had covid before, but it was quietly shelved as it would be too much hassle to administer that way.

Since when are the HSE telling people what variant they have?

This may have been asked, and perhaps a silly question, but what exactly is the cut off age for J&J vaccinations? Is it nobody under the age of 50 receiving them? Am I missing a trick or will we not have a huge surplus of these vaccinations then?

Turned 30 this year, interested to see when I'll get mine. I was thinking I should get first dose by end of July, but hard to know.

Very little chance you will be offered J&J. I doubt it will go below 45 at this stage.

Yes, Ireland and the EU as a while will shortly have many millions of spare vaccines which will then be sent on to the rest of the world.

Wow.

A HSE Doctor rang me to tell me we had one of the variants & to discuss if we had been travelling.

Hardly something someone would make up. People really should think before they post ****e

The impact of our COVID-19 vaccination programme continues to be seen. This daily age-specific incidence rates of confirmed cases per 100,000 population
from 9th May to 3rd June shows how those age cohorts fully vaccinated have seen outbreaks and clusters almost eliminated.

In fairness if you showed an year with seasonal virus levels it would look the same as that chart I’d imagine. I sure 2020’s charts looked the same without vaccines too.

Maybe learn to be a little more civil when someone has information you weren't aware of

Protocols are different when a variant of concern is identified.

Apologies, I certainly wasn't disagreeing with you if thats how it came across, just first I had heard of it.

Allot of the 55+ are due a second jab this week or next. So might delay the rollout for that age group?

Thanks, looks to be two weeks in between. I'm 33 so I'll be probably registering early July. Husband is in the next group though. Literally can't wait.

One of the GPs in my area has it on their website that if they have leftovers they call people on a cancellation list..... My GP won't even vaccinate cohort 7. I'm just impatient but it's so hard now not to book myself into every restaurant going when we are so close!

How do I read this chart? I was assuming that the 19-24 age cohort has the most cases as its consistently in the 'red' zone, but what do the numbers represent? I thought it might have been the % of that days cases that fall into that age cohort, but the numbers across the horizontal for any day dont add up to 100.

1huge1

Its number of cases per 100,00, colour coded.

e.g. on the 3rd of June, the age cohort 19-24 had a incidence rate of 28.7 per 100,00. The colour coding is automatically generated by the chart depending on the data fed into it. But essentially, the higher (worse) the values are, the more red they are and vice versa for green.

What will happen over time is that the green will extend further and further to the left (down the age cohort).

No, it wouldn't. That chart is showing incidence rates coming down in the older (vaccinated) age groups, while simultaneously going up in the younger (unvaccinated) age groups, as restrictions are lifted. It's pretty clear evidence that the vaccines are doing their job. Good news.

Unclear at the moment. It has been said that J & J and AZ might be offered to the under 40s "if no other vaccine is available", so we don't really know if that has happened.

Is anyone else having issues with the vaccine system text bombing them with the 2 factor code for logging in? I attempted to log in today and the code never arrived for a while, but now I am getting multiple message with the same code every hour.

My bet was and still remains that they'll give it to the pharmacies and let them hand it out to anyone who wants it.

Not yet, maybe in August or September.

Stick with it. Two paracetamol and you'll be alright.

Some posters have said similar especially regarding old injuries.

There is also a suggestion that those who felt "really" bad after mRNA dose 1 could have had covid19 already but all anecdotal. You'll be grand touch wood.

Had a bit of a sore arm only after my first shot. Parents were a bit off form for two days after their second shot of Pfizer.

Got my 1st Pfizer dose yesterday. Arm feels a little dead but no other issues. I have spoken to a couple of people though who felt the same as yourself for a day or 2 after the Pfizer jab. Hope you feel better tomorrow mate.

Unless you were given the one shot Jansen, then YES, you will need your second jab to be fully vaccinated.

201,000 45-49 year olds have registered and 160,000 have had a first dose as at 3rd June. I’d imagine most of the rest have been done in the last week so I’d say 40-44 will get first dose mainly this weekend to about 20th June.

35-39 to start in some areas from the 21st?

What percentage of cases over the last four five weeks have been the Indian/ Kappa variant. It has been increasing from what I read.

Know a couple of 43 year olds getting their first jab tomorrow

VinLieger

So will 30-39 be getting only MRNA? Or will we be getting J&J and Aztrazeneca?
