They are fantastic uptake figures!!! Can see 50-59 and 60-_69 increasing with the pharmacies now on board.

Will also increase with GP data starting to come back through to the HSE now

Vaccines should be administered to people who have not contracted Covid first as priority at this stage in a younger cohort, would likely aid in lowering the Ro

At this stage there would be no great gain as we are now under 45 with vaccine shots.

God this briefing is cheering me up immensely.

I know tonnes of people in their 20s and 30s getting vaccines due to connections or their GP sorting them out.

Here I am, 17 days after registration with no appointment.

Can't help but feel frustrated.

Very understandably. ...but the silver lining is: If they get on the same bus/shop with you, now they're protecting you.

Just two vaccines from July, Pfizer and Moderna, and likely slightly lower levels of vaccination, back to around the 200K mark. 30-39 group - 710K (380K and 330K) may take a good while , 3-4 week cycle. No date on 30-34 group.

Correction: 200k is the expected weekly supply of vaccines in July, currently higher.

We're almost there. One day at a time.

The real world results of AstraZeneca’s vaccine are looking better and better as the weeks go on.

And yet sadly, it still gets trashed by some - a vocal bunch mind. It does what it along with all the other vaccines were designed to do - help protect, try to reduce and stop serious illness.

Again I urge people who may be unsure about any vaccine, talk to your Dr or medical advice and get protected if you can.

Yeah looks like a 3-4 week lead in instead of setting out 3 weeks for 30-39. Not the worst, I expected a little longer to be honest.

Rough guess I'd expect 25-29 to register probably mid to late July at this point

Paul Reid:

61% of adults partially vaccinated.
31% of adults full-vaccinated

"Over 56,000 doses administered yesterday. The coming weeks will be the busiest of the programme to date: "very strong peak over the next couple of weeks.""

This week 310-330k , next week well over 300k

And clear 4 million by the end of June

Paul Reid just now:

Yesterday: "56k vaccinations yesterday".

This week: "310k-330k this week".

Next week "well over 300k next week".

Just multi-quoting all of the above because god damn we are well on our way to resumed normality ladies and gentlemen.

Some of that data isn't great... out of 1,355 infections 90 were hospitalised which works out at 6.6%, for the age range of typical hospital workers that's no better than the typical hospitalisation rate for unvaccinated people of a similar age.

I know that twitter account likes to be positive but the they've manipulated the figures to make them look a bit better.

Looks like GPs will be continuing with vaccinations in an age based fashion

I was wondering if, as the data is for HCW, the concentrated exposure to Covid may have some bearing.... plus the general health of those hospitalised etc.

ACitizenErased

HSE say they don’t expect CureVac to feature in our plans purely due to timescale

Strazdas

Seems we are now No.1 in the EU based on the seven day rolling average for vaccinations. Well done to all concerned, a quite phenomenal effort (helped in no small part by the huge take up by the Irish population).

It's possible I'm sure, it certainly increases the chance of being exposed to a significant viral load.

The first tweet

"Both Covishield (AstraZeneca) and Covaxin provided protection in OVER 95% of vaccinated individuals"

is a load of rubbish though. The fact 95% didn't get infected does not mean the vaccines protected 95% of the people, you'd only be able to calculate that if there had been a control group of 30,000 unvaccinated HCW and 100% had developed Covid.

In fairness much of the criticism was not about the vaccine itself, but the company who produced it and fell way behind targets. Very big difference.

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations (you need to input the individual country names into the interactive charts). We've moved ahead of the likes of Malta and Denmark into the No.1 position.

Perhaps not a surprise though - it was obvious in recent weeks that we were vaccinating at a ferocious rate, but also that take up by the Irish public was huge.

Data looks a bit ropey though.

Thanks Strazdas, I've booked marked it, its great news, nice one to keep an eye on.

I don't think so myself - we're doing about 50,000 a day, that's definitely huge by EU standards in relation to population size.

Where are you getting that? When I look at the data either per capita or otherwise we're nowhere near no 1?

Edit - ah just saw you said '7 day rolling average' in a previous post

Corholio

With the 30's opening on Sunday, How long would people guess would be the gap between registering and receiving your appointment date? I'm currently away, so just trying to gauge when I'd need to be available.

I don't think its hyperbole to say we are the greatest ever

Yes, seven day rolling average - it has Iceland ahead of us, but they are non-EU.

You're at the older end of the group so I'd say week starting 27th June is most likely, but you could be the back end of next week or the week after.
