We are in limbo over Covid vaccine says worried mum of eight-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis

The mother of an eight-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis says the family are “in limbo” over the Covid-19 vaccine because they have a child with a high-risk condition in a low-risk age group. Eva Rose Martin from St Margaret’s in Dublin was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at three-and-a-half weeks old. Although she is used to being isolated at times, and hygiene measures are normal for the family, parents Bernie Martin and Dave Martin say Eva Rose is not eligible for the vaccine because she is too young. They now worry about “broadening” Eva Rose’s circle during the pandemic.

AstraZeneca vaccine Ireland: Hope of exit from lockdown depends on green light for crucial 818,000 AstraZeneca vaccines this summer

The Government is hoping for an early decision giving the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine the all clear to allow it to roll out a planned 818,000 doses of the jab which are crucial to exiting lockdown. The decision to suspend use of the vaccine here this week as a precaution while European regulators investigate reports of blood clots associated with the jab is the latest set back. Around 30,000 healthcare workers and people at very high from Covid-19 will lose out as their planned inoculations for the week ahead are put on hold. Ireland is pinning its hopes on more than 800,000 doses of AstraZeneca arriving here from April to June as part of the ramping up of vaccinations to clear the way for lifting restrictions this summer.
