ACE, you are right. It did re-open.

My mum is 67 registered on the day (Saturday) the portal opened up for her age group and she’s heard nothing yet- beyond frustrating as medically she is high risk

Did she contact her GP?

She did, her GP told her they’re no longer giving vaccinations to those aged 60-69. They are only giving vaccines to the medically vulnerable outside that age group as per the HSE guidelines

68yo father signed himself and then my mother (64) up a few days after. Mother is being vaccinated tomorrow and no sign of him getting one yet. (??)

One of my colleagues phoned to ask & it's pretty much random order once you're registered she was told.

Totally agree, my bro-in-law is 67, registered on opening day(69 year olds) and recieved his first dose last thursday. Only good thing about it he was sick as a dog for two days after.

Dad got his second dose today (76)! That's one parent down! My mum gets her second dose on 14th

It all depends on your location. Dublin is flying through it because the Citywest is the biggest MVC in the country. If your nearest MVC is Pairc Ui Chaoimh for example, and it's super busy for next week, you'll be delayed getting an appointment. Just how it works unfortunately.

Can you contact her nearest vaccine centre and even again the GP that she is high risk, I hope she gets soon

I'm not having a go at any particular poster here but I can't help feeling that this thread will become very tedious if every poster decides to tell us when they've gotten their vaccination or when their parents, siblings or friends have gotten them.

Up to now, it's been grand as it's still relatively novel, but I fear where this thread is going: endless posts of "I got my jab", "I haven't got mine yet and I'm 100". "I waited 5 minutes, it was great", "I queued for hours, it's a disgrace, Joe".

Am I alone here?

Not just the outrage.
The pointless information, really.

I understand that getting the vaccination is a big deal for people but everyone telling us about it will be very tedious.

Would you drink it after somebody took it in their hand, put it to they're face and stuck their nose in it? I wouldn't.
I'd have asked her for the €2.50 it cost lol.
