Around 500 pharmacists have now signed up to a training programme which would enable them to administer the swine flu vaccine.

The Health Service Executive has not yet indicated whether pharmacists will be involved in the planned flu vaccination programme.

However, the Irish Pharmaceutical Union (IPU) said it believed that "it would be prudent to allow as wide a range of health professionals as possible to address the challenges that face us this winter."

A spokesperson said that the IPU would hope that pharmacists would be included in the plan for administration of the swine flu vaccine to the public in the coming months.

"In Portugal, 40pc of all seasonal flu vaccines are administered by pharmacists. In the US, pharmacists have been involved in vaccinations since the mid-1990s," she said.

She said that the one-day IPU training programme covers intra-muscular injection techniques, enabling pharmacists to administer seasonal influenza and swine flu pandemic vaccines as well as travel vaccines. The first training programme got under way this week with more dates scheduled to take place.

However many Irish GPs are likely to argue that their surgeries are best placed to administer the vaccine.

The first 30,000 doses of swine flu vaccine will arrive here next week. However they cannot be used until October when European safety tests on the drug will be completed.

More supplies of the vaccine are expected and the main groups earmarked for protection -- health care workers and people under 65 years with medical conditions -- will be first to receive the injections in mid to late October.

The rate of swine flu has remained at a sustained low level and there are no signs of an upsurge. However, a second wave is expected to emerge during autumn and winter.



I am not saying mandatory vaccines will be forced upon us here in Ireland at this stage. I am getting ready for such an event. If the situation becomes worse, real or unreal with a more lethal strain of the flu being released, I think they will use scare tactics in the media to drive fear into the minds of the sheeple and make them want the vaccine. Once other sheeple get sick in mass and start dropping, they will be begging for the vaccine.
If an emergecy is declared all laws and rights are out the window and the W.H.O. will take over. They will be coming for you and your family with their needles, better have a plan before that I say.
1st option if things get hairy get out one of those gold coins and go pay your friendly doctor for a vaccine + proof that you got the vaccine, before you have no choice in the matter and are forced into a self defense situation.  :twisted: If any sheeple ask, tell them; "vaccine good, you should go get yours  :D "

If you have children go feel out their teachers, see where they stand and if its possible, bribe you childrens teachers to hide them in the bathroom when the doctors come. :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:

I say you join the local branch of Óglaigh na hÉireann and then get your hands on some of those arms that were "put beyond use" and use them when they come calling for your death and destruction with a "wee jab to protect you."
