When I got the first 2 I snuck out as soon as they gave me back my card.

Even though you are high risk ari? I'm not sure how the roll out this time works.

@ari101
I got the opposite...first two were per age group, last one was just under 5 months later citing 'immunocomp status'. ( My immuno status has not changed in the last few years ).  Where are the 'walk in' vax centres that are reported to have been set up ?

nobody is going to stop you, you don't need to sneak.
The 15 minutes is so that if you have any bad accute reaction to the injectin, you are near many professional health staff on hand who have epinepherine injections and dephibrilators etc close by to make sure you have the top care.

If you 'sneak' out, and hop on the dart or in your car and then have a bad reaction to the jab :eek:


edit: just read zaph saying they stopped someone.
The two times i've been in the aviva, its been fully self service from what I could see, nobody stopping anybody and everybody looking after themselves.

when i got the flu jab in work, both this year and last, it was the same, please stay in the office for 15 minutes after the jab just so if i have bad reaction, i'm close by the nurse and meds.

That was widely discussed before vaccinations started to explain the difference between mRNA and traditional vaccines. It gave rise to conspiracy theories galore!

The Astra zenica is useless to all inswnse and porpoises as anyone that has had it it's not even helping and It wasn't great on the spikey variants to start wiff

Lady at work is in poor shape is like 50  hasbweight and respiratory issues and her and her ma had the pfeizzer and then had covid recently 


Talked to them everyday during the mandate time and they were grand 
Like sick but not wrecked 
Fella at work 36  runs three times a week swims in lakes every day and generally a fit guy 
Jumped the quque and got the Astra shots in Jan and march 

Also caught teh dose and was wrecked for 14 days 
Really bad 

Seeing how bad he got and how she was I'll be getting what ever booster they gimme and now the child can have his as well as teh differ as frightening.

Yep, booked back in September when the US announced they'd open up the borders.

At least I can change the flights to later on in the summer (plus the price difference) and have better weather.

If they introduce quarantine on arrival, that's it, I'm done.

Ffs. My gp hasn't had any more doses yet for the groups announced, and can't book into a vax centre either.

Is your belief in AZ's lack of efficacy based purely on anecdotal evidence? 

How did the 36yr old skip the queue?

Tedious observation : many CV19 deaths are attributed to cytokine storms*. This happens to fierce healthy people with very strong immune systems ( perhaps your colleague is such a person ) .

No but I find anicdotes help, I've worked for pharma for years soefically for antigen and immunology testing and soefically as a technical specialist.My discipline is in applied science  and immunology and I suppose I dumb stuff down for general consumption.
Astra don't work for the same reason last year flu vaccine don't work

The 36 year old skipped the same way all the clerical staff of the HSE skipped

Well free free to not dumb down here Tig   The first two doses I received were AZ. Its quite miraculous that I have escaped getting Covid. Unless I did have it and was asymptomatic. I'm as carefree as can be when out and about so its not impossible that I picked it up.
