Minister For Health Stephen Donnelly
This afternoon.
Via RTÉ:
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has said the European Medicines Agency will conduct a final review of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on 29 December and if approved it could begin to be distributed in Ireland from early January.
Mr Donnelly said that the EMA indicated today that the approval of a second vaccine from Moderna will be decided upon at a second meeting on 12 January.
Speaking on RTÉ’s News at One, Mr Donnelly said that the EMA is also considering the credentials of the AstroZeneca/Oxford vaccine and a fourth vaccine from Jansen.
Vaccine rollout could begin early in New Year, says Donnelly
Meanwhile…
Just over half the population would take a Covid-19 vaccine if there was one, according to a survey commissioned by the pharmaceutical industry.
Men are more likely to take the vaccine, and older people more than the young, the survey for the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association suggests.
Some 55 per cent of people surveyed said they would opt for the vaccine, 33 per cent were unsure and 12 per cent said they would not take it. One fifth of those aged between 18 and 34 were opposed to taking the vaccine.
Mr Donnelly said he did not envisage making the taking of the vaccine compulsory.
Because he can’t, silly.
Vaccine rollout could begin early in New Year, says Donnelly (Irish Times)
Meanwhile….
The Government has agreed to indemnify five drug companies producing Covid-19 vaccines against any liabilities that arise from complications with their roll-out in the coming months.
The move is considered standard practice, but is also a precondition of accessing doses of each of the companies’ vaccine and signals the Government’s confidence in the jabs being approved for quality, safety and efficacy by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the coming week.
Good times.
Meanwhile…
Boris Johnson responds to Sir Keir Starmer calls to clamp down on “dangerous, life-threatening disinformation” about vaccines.
“We will be publishing a paper very shortly on online harms, designed to tackle the very disinformation that he speaks of."#PMQs pic.twitter.com/hYNKKrkZYR

Um.
Banging Headline!!!
Make proof of vaccination a condition of entry to pubs. You’ll get 100% compliance in notime!
Good luck with the narcolepsy.
do you know how many vaccinations you’ve had so far in your life ?
Survey 3 days ago said 70% would take it. So much for accuracy.
The anti maskers will be leading the anti vaccine charge. Same disgruntled ratlicker snowflakes who are anti everything.
but pro-trump weirdly
Heh heh
My comment removed – well it’s a first. Damn you mods. Damn you all to hell !!!! ;)

Why would anyone deliberately give themselves this disease. It beggars belief…
that’s not how the vaccines work
It is, some are modified traditional vaccines which give you a weakened form of the disease.
which of the covid19 vaccines does that?
