Meanwhile…
Such a misleading headline. EU will get 300million doses. Meaning Ireland will get 3 million of those.. Why not make it a positive headline instead of making it look so bad🤦🏽♂️🙄. (The grinch RTE)

But that leaves two million of us prick-free.
Pause.

HSE Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry
‘No vaccines have disappeared,’ HSE Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry says following reports that hundreds of thousands of doses of the flu vaccine have gone missing | Read more: https://t.co/9XQPHKnu64 pic.twitter.com/52JrYV2wHg

This morning.
The HSE has suspended distribution of the flu vaccine to GPs and pharmacies after it emerged that claims for 600,000 doses are missing.
In a letter sent to doctors and pharmacists on Monday, the HSE said that approximately 1.3 million vaccines have been distributed to date, but only 700,000 of those have been recorded as administered vaccines on the claims system used by healthcare professionals to reimburse costs.
As a result, it is not clear whether or not the remaining 600,000 vaccines have been administered.
However.
Via RTÉ News:
The Health Service Executive has rejected newspaper reports that hundreds of thousands of doses of the flu vaccine have gone missing.
The executive’s Chief Clinical Officer said 50,000 doses were held back to ensure they are delivered to those areas most in need.
Dr Colm Henry said there have been unprecedented levels of demand for the vaccine this year and 1.3 million doses have been distributed already – an increase of 20% from the same period last year and the most the HSE has ever distributed.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, he said the HSE normally holds back a certain amount of the vaccine to ascertain where the gaps and priority areas around the country are and where the vaccine needs to be delivered to.

The first patient enrolled in Pfizer’s COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine clinical trial at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, USA
This afternoon
Pfizer Inc had on Monday disclosed that its experimental vaccine which it is jointly developing with BioNTech was more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 based on initial data from a large study, in the ongoing phase 3 trials.
This disclosure was made in a statement by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pfizer, Albert Bourla, on Monday, November 9, 2020.
Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SE are the first drugmakers to show successful data from a large-scale clinical trial of a coronavirus vaccine. The companies said they have so far found no serious safety concerns and expect to seek U.S. emergency use authorization later this month.

Do people honestly think I’m going to let myself be injected with some mysterious genetically-engineered concoction designed in secret by Bill Gates and other Illuminati?
Fuck yeah. *unrolls sleeve*.

Pfizer has already started manufacturing 100,000k+ doses before their vaccine has even been approved. Warp Speed guidance shows that, as vaccines near expected approval, an effort to work w "media partners" to address "vaccine hesitancy", expect a lot more tweets like this fr MSM

Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited the pharmaceutical and biotech research firm APC – who have partnered with an Australian biotech firm Vaxine Pty to ‘accelerate’ the development of a vaccine for the rona – greeting its CEO Mark Barrett (top) in the now new normal manner.
UPDATE:
When I put it to the Taoiseach that the regulations may require bars to record what each individual diner ordered, he scoffed and dismissed this as not being the case at all

This afternoon.
Dáil, Leinster House.
During leader’s questions, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar (above) said:
“On Monday, Minister Harris announced the decision to make the flu vaccine available free of charge to all children aged between 2 and 12 this year. And to all of those defined as at risk, aged between 6 months and 69 years.
And, as we know, everyone over 70 already has access to the vaccine without charges. I believe we can save hundreds of lives this winter and every winter by a much greater uptake of the flu vaccine.
This matters now more than ever as we need to avoid a second wave of Covid-19 coming at the same time as the flu’ season.
It’s particularly important that uptake by healthcare workers is much better than in the past. This pandemic teaches us there is no excuse not to be vaccinated. We’ve experienced a small taste of what the world was like before vaccines and it hasn’t been good.”
FIGHT!
