Need Me A Boost Bad

at

This afternoon.

Via RTÉ News:

The HSE has said it is currently offering booster doses to those aged 50 and over, those living in a nursing home or long-term care facility, healthcare workers, and those aged 16 to 49 with an underlying condition.

…If a person is 30 years or older they will receive a single dose of Pfizer or Moderna as their booster. If they are 29 years or younger, they will receive a single dose of Pfizer.

People can receive these vaccines even if they got an AstraZeneca or Janssen vaccine in their primary vaccination schedule.

Meanwhile…

The HSE said those who are eligible for a booster do not to need to have received a text message before attending walk-in clinics.

If you get a text, great, follow that text instruction“, Eileen Kelly, the Principal Clinical Lead at the vaccination centre in Swords, Dublin said.

If you don’t get a text, you can still attend a walk-in.”

However, she is advising people to check the HSE website before travelling to clinics to ensure their eligibility.

Currently, we’re over 50s,” she said. “Shortly we’ll be moving to the over 40s.”

    Covered for a year, no, 9 months, no, 6 months, no, 3 months… ever decreasing circles (not the Richard Briers one.)

      TOO LATE, I’VE INJECTED ALL OF MINE AND ALL THE NEIGHBOURS’ KIDS THAT WERE NEARBY WHILE I WAS INJECTING ALL OF MINE!

      Clear, concise and from the inventor of the technology. It’s just over 3 minutes long, so worth listening to by all sides of the argument.

    This is all total BS. Where did those statistics come from? Who validated them? Every time there’s a different story.

    And what happened to “95% of the country have been vaccinated” line?

    The current vaccines are not effective to the latest variants. Boost all you want.

        Thanks for the clarification Oh, so there’s a non-operationalised caveat – “adults”.

        The way these figures are used just isn’t credible.

        When are we getting the 5km radius rule back. Wouldn’t that be more effective?
