Advice on Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine
So first: what is a vaccine? a vaccine teaches our immune system how to create antibodies, and it is these antibodies that protect people from disease. It is much safer for our immune system and our overall health, to make antibodies through vaccination than by actually catching the virus from someone else, because then your immune system has to mobilise and produce large quantities of antibodies to fight the virus. Once our immune system knows how to fight a disease, this offers protection against this disease for many years.
So in Ireland in the new year, a COVID 19 vaccine which has been developed by Pfizer and German biotech company Bio N Tech will be distributed by the HSE through GP’s, pharmacies and health centres.

There are over 300,000 people in Ireland, who have both asthma and hayfever. They should take precautions during this years “Pollen Season” to avoid a potentially fatal asthma attack.
The Asthma Society of Ireland recently launched its annual Hayfever Campaign for the 304,000 people who have both asthma and hayfever in Ireland. The Asthma Society’s Hayfever Campaign includes the Pollen Tracker, providing daily updates of pollen levels nationwide, and also predictions of pollen levels for the following day. The Asthma Society is encouraging people with hayfever to visit the Pollen Tracker page on asthma.ie regularly and to ensure their hayfever is well managed this summer.
Unmanaged hayfever symptoms are capable of causing asthma symptoms to escalate into a potentially serious asthma attack, which in some case can be fatal. One person dies every week in Ireland from asthma.
People with asthma need to ensure their hayfever is well managed throughout “Pollen Season” which runs from now until September. The Pollen Tracker on asthma.ie will allow people to recognise the days that require additional precautions for managing their hayfever.
