Supply issues is cited in the AP story. Pfizer hasn't commented yet, but its the US market.What's going on now?
I would imagine it would be for contingency, we know that everyone will need to get 2 doses, obviously not everyone will take it initially or never and some doses might be damaged.........I'd say the list is long....at $20 a dose a go that's $32m or about €25m.The CEO of the HSE, Paul Reid, has said Ireland has capacity to acquire 16 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines.
Why do we need 16 million doses? There's 4.9 million people in this country so we need 9.8 million doses to vaccinate everyone. What are the other 6.2 million for?
Better looking at it than looking for it?I would imagine it would be for contingency, we know that everyone will need to get 2 doses, obviously not everyone will take it initially or never and some doses might be damaged.........I'd say the list is long....at $20 a dose a go that's $32m or about €25m.
Suppose the are just being extremely conservative in the planning.
Looks like the manufacturers and health systems are factoring in a 10% min loss, due to damage, supply chain issues, ineffective product, this loss could be higher or lower only time will tell.Better looking at it than looking for it?
Why? It has been declared safe. Yes the technology is new in that its been used first but people have been working on this for years, in fact one of its main proponents won the Noble Prize for Medicine in 2005 , I think.For anyone wishing to take this vaccine, God kiss you good luck.
This might be worth a thread of it's own. What do people think of summer holidays abroad in 2021? Likely to happen or not, or is it a bit too early to predict until we know more about the vaccine roll out plans? I've heard some people suggest that things will be back to normal by Easter 2021 which seems a bit optmistic to me but I would love to get away again next summer, as I'm sure many others would.I see that Spain don't expect to have their citizens fully vaccinated until July - September of 2021. Holidays to Spain may be on hold for a little while yet.

That would be expected Id say Europe as a whole would be similar.I see that Spain don't expect to have their citizens fully vaccinated until July - September of 2021. Holidays to Spain may be on hold for a little while yet.

This is just another strain. The Italian strain was most prevalent in Ireland during the spring. The Spanish strain has been the most common in Europe during the second wave.
Mutations are normal. In the short term there’s nothing to worry about.
