Fair play to her for figuring it out.
The common sense approach.
When is your mother’s birthday?
Just under 40k according to the 2016 census
Bound have 3k or so go since then.
That figure would include those in care homes who’d have been vaccinated already.
August 1st.
So likelihood 1/3 or over of 69 year olds have registered for their vaccine in the first hour this morning.
Did your in laws get their date when they registered?
I don’t think so. I’ll ask the Mrs.
You won’t get a date. The portal is to register your interest in the vaccine really.
First appointments will be some time next week.
Worrying.
How did the one in Poland work @balbec? Did you get a slot there and then or did you have to wait?
It’s not clear why, if AZ is effectively limited to this cohort now, that they can’t start sticking needles in arms within days. We keep getting told that the mass vaccination infrastructure is good to go.
400k in the fridge
The HSE are working “flat out”.
Cause they are still busy vaccinating the 800k “frontline healthcare workers”
In the ECDC report for week 14,
Ireland got 14400 doses of AZ, 0 doses of Moderna (Will be in this weeks figures I assume), and 135720 doses of pfizer (10k more than I was expecting)
I was 20 doses off with my AZ estimate
Should push the doses sitting in a fridge up to close to 310k at close of business last Sunday.
I reckon that should mean Ireland has now received more than 1m doses of Pfizer alone.
