Referring to the Katherine Zappone story, HSE CEO Paul Reid told the weekly HSE covid briefing:

“The only concern we have is people just drop their guard over the next few weeks, whether it’s over frustration or confusion.

“People drop their guard. So the message from the HSE people stick with us, in a few weeks time we will be on a much better side of this pandemic.

“My call is to the public: don’t get confused, don’t get frustrated, just stick with what we’re doing, it’s working and allow us to get on with the vaccination programme.”

All better.

Are you ghosting the HSE?

Stop it.

At the HSE weekly covid press briefing, HSE’s National Lead for Testing and Tracing Niamh O’Beirne said:

“We now see 35% of our close contacts fully vaccinated, which is 5% up on the previous week, and continues to take those individuals if they don’t have symptoms out of our system.”

“One of the problems we do have in contact tracing is people answering the phone. If you are an index case you will know because you have received a text.”

“Please take that call, it’s an important call.”

FIGHT!

Over 340,000 Covid-19 vaccines were administered last week in Ireland, HSE CEO Paul Reid has said.

Yesterday, the Covid-19 vaccine registration portal opened to people in their 30s, starting with people aged 39.

Via The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA):

‘A total of 67 reports have been received describing an individual who was known to have been vaccinated and subsequently passed away. Of these, 58 were reported with an mRNA vaccine.

The remaining nine fatalities were related to adenoviral vector vaccines or brand unknown/not specified. The types of events reported mainly include fatalities often seen in the general population, such as those due to natural causes, progression of underlying disease.

In some cases, the individuals concerned tested positive for COVID-19. For a number of reports, the cause of death was unconfirmed at the time of reporting, with post mortem results awaited.

Reports describing a death are carefully reviewed. However, it can be expected that fatalities due to progression of underlying disease or natural causes will continue to occur, including following vaccination. This does not mean that the vaccine caused the deaths.

In January, the EMA undertook a specific review of reports of fatalities following mRNA vaccination, and did not identify a safety concern. In most cases, progression of (multiple) pre- existing diseases was considered a plausible explanation.’

Damien McCallion, HSE Lead for the Covid-19 vaccination programme said people turning up at vaccination centres on the hope that there are left over doses to be administered “it is not encouraged”.

He said people “would be lucky” to receive a vaccination in this way, as centres are managing their doses efficiently to allow for those who do not attend.

“We wouldn’t encourage that. We’re going through the vaccination problem at a rapid pace and that isn’t something that we want to encourage.”

HSE CEO Paul Reid

HSE CEO Paul Reid said that the HSE is not in a position to say yet when vaccination registration will open for people aged 30-39 years.

He said they should be in a better position by the end of next week to confirm when it will start.

Meanwhile..

HSE Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry said 64% of cases have been in the under 35s – this shows the huge protective impact of the vaccine programme.
