"Yes. It's very much the norm for leftover vaccine at the end of the day. Better someone uses it than it going to waste"
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. |

That friend would be the problem with this country, corrupt , self entitled and a traitor to the Irish people. If you were to say yes you would then also be the same , if no, then you would be the hope that this little island needs |

I was asked why I started the thread so honestly it's because I was wavering between the two
But the more I realised what was wrong about the Beacon Hospital story,the more I realised my answer would be no. |

Nice one, you are the hope.
P.s. just to clarify, not a hope would i take it. Not enough long term studies. I'm not anti vat, just anti this vat till maybe ten years. Think thalidomide |

Can't say I blame them, once they did what they are supposed to on their return |

I wasn't aware of the story. Having read it, maybe I'd feel differently if I didn't live in NI. I'd still prefer they go in arms rather than bins though |

The Thalidomide tragedy catalysed the formation of the FDA. The FDA and EMA have given emergency approval to these vaccines. I'll have no problem taking it when my time comes. Mrs. |

If it wasn't been taken from someone else who needs it more. It would be better than wasting it, especially how sensitive these vaccines are when stored.

No vaccine should ever be wasted. They should have had a proper equitable system in place in the event of free vaccines, which apparently is a regular occurrence due to non attendance on any given day.

I am not condoning in any way what happened at the Beacon.
However, stick it in any near arm I say if you cannot get hold of someone next on the rollout plan. Better than it going to waste. |

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. |

.. Why not contact another hospital or care home or GP who still have queues of vulnerable people waiting...Giving it to your buddies in a private school is not a priority now |

Theres no way they would be binned there is clear and concise instruction as to who is to be called up for extra vax doses |

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. I bet ud have people jumping to take them. there is not a proper structure in place. that's the problem. |

... 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

There is a proper structure in place and it's pretty much as you've described. |

you think phone calls are been made from GP surgeries to people to ask are they available to accept a spare vaccine? it might be happening in some places but it's not happening everywhere. |

"My mother got 2 hours notice for her vaccine. She is almost 80 . So there are lists and some GPs are following guidelines. "
that's what I'm saying. there are categories of people for vaccines working from the vulnerable down and if for whatever a person cant take the shot, phonecalls should be made and if the person can make it in, they get it.

I have relations working in healthcare. I have one relative a doctor. I'm not talking about offering the vaccines to anyone. there should be a list on a computer system from top to bottom. do you think every single vaccine vile is been used? |

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. |

So you're presuming they're thrown in the bin instead of the protocols being followed?
That's why they have to have standby lists before starting. |

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. Well you tell me then, how come some vaccine viles on a daily basis are been binned? no matter who, the vaccine should be going in somebody's arm and not a bin.
Where are these vaccines being binned? Have you evidence of this? Have you reported it to the HSE? How many are you talking about? there is ample news stories over the weeks of people not showing for vaccines. are you telling me all these vaccine viles are been used on other people and some not ending up in a bin?
So you're presuming they're thrown in the bin instead of the protocols being followed?
That's why they have to have standby lists before starting. "
not presuming. you're taking it for granted every vaccine vile is been used every single day. you could be right but as easily you could be wrong. |

"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. I bet ud have people jumping to take them. there is not a proper structure in place. that's the problem.
There is a proper structure in place and it's pretty much as you've described. you think phone calls are been made from GP surgeries to people to ask are they available to accept a spare vaccine? it might be happening in some places but it's not happening everywhere.

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 |

Anyway back on track
If you got a call from a friend offering you the vaccine that was left over
If you say no...she rings the next friend
No vaccines go to waste someone gets them ....would you say yes |

"let's not forget, once the vaccine is out it has to be used within hours. "
That is once its prepared for use at the vaccine location....
Not all doses are prepared at once... so yes you may have the remains of a prepared vile that needs to be binned at the end of the day but that's going to happen even if everyone shows up |

It does happen. Grandad got a call at 5.15pm.....could he be in the surgery within 20 minutes. Someone had cancelled and he was next on the list.....why do you think it doesn't work like that? |

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!
Kaizer is on the way, don't give it to that prick. |

And after that phone call the next person has 18 minutes and so on
Fool proof |

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 |

If someone gets a call to get a vaccine, one that was leftover at the end of the day, when do they get their second dose? Is it at the same rate as a scheduled person gets their second dose 4 -12 weeks later ? |

... 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. |

Yes I would....and in fact YES I DID !!!
This is how I got mine a bit earlier from local vaccination centre after call offering me the chance to attend within an hour which I accepted.
My second vaccine will now be calculated from the date I received first as you are now recorded on the system...Happy Days  |

"No.
The "left over" vaccines should go to the people on the back up list which should be prepared in advance. There is no acceptable situation in which there are "left over" vaccines. "

Yes you go into the system as normal with a specified date |

I think down here you get the date based on the numbers of weeks since the first dose
My parents got their second dose today 4 weeks after the first |

Anyone I know who got theirs at a vaccination centre rather than their GP got dates for between 10 and 12 weeks after the first.
None of those who got it through the GP like I did have a second date.
I assumed the GP couldn't give a date as they didn't know if or when they would have available stock. |

RB my Mum and Dad both got theirs through their GP and they were given a card when leaving with their next vaccination appointment on it.. Which was 12 weeks later for them. |

No. Not because of any moralising. I am perfectly healthy and don't need a vaccine for something that will not make me ill or which in fact, does not make the majority ill. Please don't give me any high ground moralising guff as it will get no response. |

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 |

You do not know for certain it will not make you ill. I know more than one who were young, extremely fit and well yet ended up in hospital with this thing |

"A friend calls,she works in a hospital,she has some left over vaccine and say its yours if you can make it in an hour..
Yes or no....no other option....she'll ring other friends on her phone
Would you ....no explanation needed"
Nope. Far more deserving people in front of us for the vaccine. Yes I want but I'm going not going to be an entitled POS for it. |
