They need to stick to the plan and vaccinate those who are most likely to die 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apple 688 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Anyone heard about the beta interferon nebuliser treatment being used in USA hospitals to boost immune system when ill with virus. May help to reduce length of stays and enable patients to be transferred out of ICU sooner. Could make a difference here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quilp 10,546 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That pharmaceutical has some serious side-effects and is contraindicated with other medications, especially cancer drugs and can induce suicidality in mental health patients so it's not for everyone. Its application-base is limited. But if it helps some... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well not heard that but even if true it's still a long way behind other crown dependencies who get exactly same supply per head as us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's currently appearing before the House of Commons Liason Committee. You've never heard so much off the cuff bluster, bull and deflection in your life, he hasn't answered one question directly. The Committee rightly appear to be less than impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. You beat me to it. I hope someone has realised that the strategy he explained this evening means that this is what will need to happen. I hope he never has to plan a complex construction project because that is not the most efficient way to work. He should be utilising all capacity now not expecting to double it in week 4 and so on 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it slips to 28 days it doesn’t matter, get the vaccine rolled out quicker!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roll out is predicated by the supply, not just the amount available in total, but frequency of delivery. It’s also predicated by your delivery plan. IOM has taken a perfectly valid decision to follow the 21 day gap between doses AND to not vaccinate anyone unless the second dose is here. It’s very belt and braces but I’ve no doubt it’s the best clinical practice in an ideal world. Roll out is then predicated by infrastructure, the number of places you have to vaccinate from, the number of qualified vaccinators, and the number of trained support staff. Support staff includes the people sorting out the letters, the people staffing 111, receptionists at the vaccination point, those administering informed consent, those keeping accurate record of name, address, GP, date of birth, NHS number, type of vaccine, batch number, as well as those handling the vaccine, overseeing transport, safe storage at appropriate temperatures, thawing, disposal of sharps. You don’t start at full capacity. You work up, develop, extend, recruit, train and expand capacity, learning and speeding up as you go. What he’s told us is the most efficient way. We can’t just drop everything else at GP surgeries, Nobles, pharmacies, 111, testing. Did he say when the large vaccination centre at Ronaldsway will open? You wouldn’t open at full capacity. Sounds like the plan is considered, practical, pragmatic and achievable. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
