I get that part but it's the friend part that causes me to say no. Do it officially and ring someone local in the target group.

This was my reasoning too. Taking Beacon out of the equation, there will be circumstances where it is not possible to get those leftover vaccinations to people who are next on the priority list and in that case get them in arms. Any arms. Because to throw them in the bin is just as scandalous.

That's why they're obliged to have a back up list in place, updated regularly during the day. The majority of vaccination centres don't have a problem doing that.

unused vaccines that have a life expectancy of a few hours. there should be a list in each GP surgery, you contact people and ask are they available to come in and take a vaccine. if not, you move to the next person, so on so forth.

... Exactly. I know plenty of vulnerable still waiting. If we take the attitude of "sure as long as its not wasted" then it becomes a dog eat dog situation. And one thing we have learned is the wealthy and greedy will win out in that situation. A proper structure in place means they won't be wasted and the vaccines go into arms of people that need it first

My point is that there is a list. If you're doctor relative is telling you there's not then he's telling porkies. Every vaccination centre has to have a stand by list and given that we're only doing cohort 4 as yet then it's not difficult to compile such a list. I suggest you should report this doctor to the HSE if you know they're breaching HSE guidelines.

I got my first through the GP surgery nearly a month ago.

I have mild asthma.

I got an hour's notice asking me to come in. I live 5 mins from the surgery but was working an hour away and made it with minutes to spare.

I asked what would have happened if I hadn't made it and they said almost every person they contacted at short notice had made it and as it was the astra zeneca one there aren't the same storage issues.

That's why they have to have standby lists before starting.

Why do you think the story broke ...people were double booked but all the vaccines were used in the end

My father was getting his but my mother wasnt

The doctor told her to turn up with my dad anyway

She got done instead of waiting on the late call in the evening

They've just left the house to go for their second dose

Well she's rang Kaizer so next in her phone book is probably that jinnit she hangs around with at Pilates called Louie.

Hes such a wanker, back in primary school he ate Kaizer's kit-kat one day, spat it in the bin, cos the dope didn't remove all the foil wrapping.

So yes, hold on dear nurse friend!

because not every person they ring immediately can come in. I have no doubt, a system is in place, the point I'm making, is that system always followed and does every vaccine get used.

Were the Beacon vaccines actually 'left over'? Wasn't it strange that all 19 teachers were available at such short notice? Why didn't he phone his family/friends, or were they already vaccinated?

All it does is raise more questions, hopefully it will all come out

... Exactly. There are a lot more questions than answers. Nobody wants waste of vaccine when they so precious at moment. These vaccines were transported from sandyford to bray... Whereas if they had made a phone call to St Lukes, Vincent's or Blackrock clinc surely they would have taken them for more needed recipients. (all of which are closer but instead they actually went the opposite direction to a school in Bray!) .. It just stinks.

That's right. When you book online for a vaccination centre (in NI) you automatically receive the date for your second dose at the time of booking your first
