The World Health Organisation is investigating the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine at a special meeting today. The European Medicines Agency is also meeting today with a decision expected to be made on the AstraZeneca vaccine on Thursday.

Why are targets being missed with our vaccinations roll-out and is confidence in the HSE’s ability to deliver, as promised, being shaken?!
Sharp criticisms were reportedly made of the programme at separate parliamentary party meetings of both Fianna Fail and Fine Gael last night while family doctors have also criticised shortcomings in communications and inconsistencies in delivery schedules.
Dr Tadhg O’Carroll from Waterford city, told Damien Tiernan this morning that he was late receiving delivery of the correct syringes for the vaccine they had rolled out thus far in his practise. He said it was possible it would have been able to vaccinate up to 12 extra people with the vaccine they received, if the syringes had been the right size.
