Great to see the Private Beacon hospital vaccinating Teachers in a Private School in Bray. That's the spirit. The South demonstrating yet again that their rollout of the Vaccine is absolutely on point.

Disgrace that this happened. Example of why private healthcare facilities don't serve a just purpose.

I hope they get hammered for this but very likely be a few strong words in public and behind closed doors but not much else that can be done unless the owners remove the person responsible.

I don't think anyone is impressed with this and it seems to be a solo run by the Beacon CEO who by a strange coincidence has children who attend this school. There is supposed to be a back up list for places like the Beacon to call if people don't turn up for their appointments, but it was ignored in this case.


In an ideal world the individual in this case would face disciplinary action but the fact he's a public sector worker/HSE employee probably means he'll get away with a don't do that again warning and that will be that unfortunately

How is the CEO of a Private Hospital a "public service worker/HSE employee"?
I presume all the private hospitals got supplies for their staff?

Why would he be a public sector worker if he works in the Beacon?

Do most of those private boyos not double job? Plenty do up here anyway I think.

Consultants do.
But CEOs and various other Private Hospital staffs would be full time employees of the hospital.

The first round of vaccination will be over before these guys get going.
There is going to loads of vaccine in the summer, of many different types.

On the good news front, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines stop about 90% of transmission, once people have two doses etc. That is mighty news, because if you have 90% of people vaccinated and you only have 10% transmission then your R is below 1 and an epidemic cannot get going.

So with loads of vaccine and vaccines that work well, this Covid is on the way out, although it will take a while yet.
