1.30pm today for the first vaccination here apparently.

A nice lunch to be had before gently easing into the first few jabs. I think the first one in the UK took place a few weeks back at 6am.

They were saying abt 65%, but with this new strain which is more contagious abt 80%

From the Indo.

Dublin woman Annie, a 79-year-old grandmother, will be the first person to be vaccinated against Covid-19 in the Republic of Ireland.

Today, December 29, the state will begin vaccinating in four hospitals- Beaumont and St Jamesā€™s hospitals in Dublin, Cork University Hospital, and University Hospital Galway.

Some 10,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech arrived into the country on St Stephens Day.

St Jamesā€™ Hospital in Dublin will receive the vaccine first at 1.30pm today, according to Chair of the Covid-19 vaccination taskforce Brian MacCraith.

He said an ICU nurse working on a Covid ward will receive the vaccine but Annie will be the first person to receive it today.

Annie, whose surname was not given by Mr MacCraith, has 10 grandchildren, was born in Christchurch and grew up in the Liberties.

Ffs.
