My sister's boyfriend got his at least 4 weeks ago late 30s he has cycstic fibrosis so probably right at the very top of the at risk list.  I hppe this Johnson and Johnson one shot vaccination gets approved quickly. I think it's been revieed by the EMA this week Its been reviewed and approved by the EMA already with the benefits far outweighing the risks. Its to be labelled as carrying a very rare side effect of unusual blood clots. EU regulator says unusual blood clots should be listed as 'very rare side effect' of J&J vaccine https://jrnl.ie/5415242 Good news

Hope the "Abundance of Caution" merchants do the right thing

There seems to have been a mood change in the last few days. Politicians talking down reopening. What's changed I wonder?

Closing in on the 1 millionth person to receive at least one dose. Should reach that milestone by end of next week, likely sooner

I tried to upload image with the above but didn’t work - check out our world in data - they have a 7 day rolling average chart on their vaccination tab - Per 100 we’re at 0.42 -  🇩🇪 At 0.61 and  🇳🇱 0.66.

Nvidic your data is more reliable whereas the other stuff is only the last 7 days.  There were changes to the AZ which resulted in a big change to the programme.   We will see how it plays out over the next few weeks but I wouldn’t be jumping to conclusions yet.  That’s like saying the score is 1-1 but over the last 10 mins we have had 35% possession. It’s useful but doesn’t tell the whole picture.

I hope your right but the last rolling last 7 days tell you the trend each country is going in. It’s not like we don’t have a history of taking a long time to get things done - luas, m50??

The Dutch have been one of the worst countries for rolling out the vaccine? Certainly the impression I've got. Germany not far ahead of them. Ireland has been one of the better countries in Europe for vaccinating the most vulnerable.
