Delays in rolling out vaccine

Some people like to defend incompetence for whatever reasons.

The repeated hint that other countries possibly are not successfully distributing the vaccine in a correct way is baseless.


Red tape blamed for Covid-19 vaccine rollout delays

HSE says delays linked to the consent system and not to vaccine supplies

Ireland is "a bit behind"...
 
I don't think anyone is defending the HSE's organisational incompetence (and the HSE is everyone who works in it, not some abstract concept). It costs billions of Euro a year and kills hundreds, maybe thousands, of people. The point is that they have to get their house in order before they start sticking needles in people.
 
he is not an officer obviously , your analogy does not work at all. It seems you are a little bit too prickly about valid criticisms of how the vaccine rollout is happening. Methinks you are probably a little too close yourself to the action and the decision making process associated with the HSE or government, maybe you are one of the officers.

On a side note I am active in the reserve forces and might do some travel abroad end of March for a short training should the training or flights not be cancelled.

Around 50,000 receive first dose of Covid-19 vaccine in Northern Ireland

News from the Irish Examiner's team of reporters
www.irishexaminer.com

Northern Ireland managed to administer the vaccine to 50,000 people as per today - Ireland 4,000 as per 4th of January (with at least 40,000 doses arrived to Ireland by now) - Israel 1.48 million also as per yesterday.

Well its easy to vaccinate people when you actually have the vaccine and you have it a full 3 weeks before anybody else.
Northern Ireland had 50,000 vaccine (Pfizer)
on the 14th of December, with another 25000 due Christmas week. We had zero.

We received 10,000 on the 26th of December and were due to receive 35,000 this week post the 4th of January, again difficult to use something that you don't have.

Finally we are retaining 50% of doses of received vaccines, and Northern Ireland now has 2 vaccines whereas we have 1.
 
Where are the 9 fridges that store these Pfizer vaccines?

How do they move these vaccines to nursing homes from these fridges?

Is this the delay problem?
 
If we compare with EU countries only - the roll out here in Ireland is still appalling

Leo Varadkar on the Pat Kenny show at the moment.......still talking about what "they are going to be doing" with the vaccines.
 
My personal opinion of Paul Reid is that he looks as if he is constantly trying to keep ahead of the posse. He has a very difficult job but he must have a team of managers who really have to be held accountable for this sham roll out of the vaccines.

The vaccines have been in the country 12 days now. How many have been administered?
 
367,331 Germany, either 259,481 or 307,182 Italy - the number of 20000 seems to be wrong in the article

5,000 France

Some say France is delaying as they want to use a vaccine from Sanofi...
 
4000 as per 4th of January



and on a per capita base

Still tiny figures as a percentage of population.
Why would France wait for Sanofi they aren't even out of phase 2 trials with a larger phase 2 starting in February, all going well you'd be looking at mid- late 2021 before data would be gathered.

Doubt it's that. There is a high level of vacine sceptisim in France (only 40% say they will take the vaccine). I think I read that the French were slow rolling it out initially to ensure there were no issues and negative publicity. I believe they intend to ramp up.

Might go to France to get the jab if they don't want it - more availability
 
A nurse on the radio yesterday from an ICU ward and she has no idea when she will be getting her vaccine. She hasn't been told yet!
