Minister @DonnellyStephen asked for a "step change" in numbers vaccinated and pharmacists delivered: more than 10,000 people per day are now getting their booster vaccines in local pharmacies
#VaccinesSaveLives#COVID19#Booster#ThinkPharmacy
In London, one late-night pharmscy had already completed 1,000 vaccinations. Ireland has 1,800 community pharmacies, the most per head of population in Europe. Why is this amazing network not being utilised @DonnellyStephen?

It's ~1/10 the cost of the other vaccine candidates reported so far, and doesn't have to be frozen (just refrigerated). Even at only 70% effective that would still be a big boost for poorer countries.
And, early data suggests an alternative dosing regime may improve efficacy.
In partnership with @AstraZeneca, we’re hoping to supply 3 billion doses of the vaccine and make it available to people around the world by the end of next year. The #OxfordVaccine can be stored at fridge temp & deployed quickly using existing infrastructure.
Today marks an important milestone in the fight against #COVID19. Interim data show the #OxfordVaccine is 70.4% effective, & tests on two dose regimens show that it could be 90%, moving us one step closer to supplying it at low cost around the world>> https://t.co/fnHnKSqftT
