Just an update on this, I rang this morning to have this escalated. If you haven't received an appointment after 3 weeks you need to ring them.

Got a an appointment for Sunday morning at 10.30 with Pfizer.

Also have an appointment Pfizer Sunday morning at the racecourse. Was offered appointment in Waterford last Friday which I couldn't attend. Fair dues to HSE was expecting to wait longer.

Got vaccine app for sunday in racecourse. 42.

Berty

At racecourse now, not getting my own vaccine so out in car park. Arrived at 8:40 and wife had her vaccine in the arm(2nd AZ) 13 mins later.

I'll be back out later with somebody else without a car so I can see if it's as busy as now. The car park has a constant flow of people going here there and everywhere.

Compared to my visits to the Radisson this is on another level for how busy it is.

Hoping to be called next week. My 42year old friend got called(yesterday) for this Sunday and I'm 40 so sometime next week I'd say.

I've added a poll, who doesn't enjoy a poll? I've copied the poll in the main COVID forum.

There's a lot of anecdotal feedback as to the status of the rollout in Limerick so there's no harm in us tracking it for ourselves.

Poll needs a No option

It's like waiting on a poorly called bingo game come on 41 you useless number.

When it comes to the status in Limerick I'll keep returning to the fact that registration has yet to open for those in their 30s anywhere in the country. Therefore there rollout elsewhere can't be ahead of Limerick as we know people in their early 40s are now getting appointments.


I did vote though!

The main COVID 1 didn't have a No option but I'll add it now

Clareman

I can't set the poll to allow for people to edit their response so if you put No as a response it'll always be like that even after you get your jab so I'll leave it off, I'm guessing that's why it wasn't included in the COVID thread.

I know that but people seem to think that because the centre moved and/or it'll be closed for a few days that Limerick is falling behind, might as well try to see if that's true or not.

I know someone who wasn't due to get their second AZ until next month, they are getting it this week. Which is good news. It means they are actually beginning to speed things up in that regard. (I'm one of the two - so far - who has had their second Moderna)

Suggestions at the moment in one of the red-tops that there is a shortage of vaccines in the UK this week, so they are having to slow down their vaccination schedule.

Seeing as the option isn't available, I'll post here: No and no text yet (am 41)

This isn't true though.
Last week I posted regarding my brother and sister in law who are both 41.
1 received their 1st dose this morning, the other is getting their's on Thursday.

I also posted regarding my 43y.o wife receiving her Vax last Thursday when apparently no 43y.os had appointments either.

Interesting that 2 people the same age are 2 days apart for first doses. My theory is that today (Wednesday) is being used for second doses in Limerick and the first doses based on age are being done every second day

Clareman

They are being fairly regimental with the whole 28 days thing, if you get your vaccine on a Tuesday you'll have your appointment for the second dose 4 weeks to the day. AFAIK they are booking in 2 appointments for everyone (1st and second), they are sure of those doses, then when they are sure of the stock for the following week they make the first appointments.

Not exactly. I got my second Moderna 4 weeks and 1 day after I received my first one. The two appointments didn't appear to have been made simultaneously as I only got notification of my second dose less than 48 hours before my appointment.

So I went with 'Yes - Moderna second jab' , even though I won't get it until 2:40 today .

Not for me - 4 weeks ago today I got first Moderna - getting 2nd next Saturday.

no that wasn't the case for me or partner. we both got vaccines #1 in Radisson, partner got #2 4 weeks later to the day, I was 5 days outside of the 28 day schedule.

Got the first four weeks ago today early morning, second this coming Saturday late afternoon

2nd AZ today.
In and out of the Racecourse in 26minutes.

Berty

Bested you. Brought my sister in law out there and was 25 mins. She sent a picture of a long outdoor snaking queue but was seen too quickly. Don't know if the Moderna queue would be longer or slower as no idea of how many booths for each.

Comhrá

Just home from having my 2nd AZ jab at 4pm today.

Super efficient throughout. Reminded me of checking in for a long-haul international flight, with three ID checks and a questionnaire before I got to the vaccination booth.

jonski

In at 2:40 out just before 3:00 , second Moderna jab, 54yo .

naughtysmurf

I was there for a 5.30pm appointment today, arrived about 5.20 to find about 50 in the queue ahead of me, made a poor decision to just to wear a t-shirt (from the waist up) I was wearing pants, queue the shower of rain......the whole ID / questions scenario seemed to take longer than the Radisson, got jabbed, down to waiting area, after five minutes the person overseeing that area walked down along the booths & about 50% of those waiting made a run for it

I assumed it was all Moderna out there today, didn’t notice any separation between vaccines types, anyway all done, I can feel the sand between my toes & im not talking about BallyB or Killkee....just happy we seem to be nearing the end for everybody

Berty

The difference with the waiting area, at least yesterday in the AZ compared to the Radisson was in the Radisson there was lady, described as a paramedic, who'd tell you when your 15 mins was up with a clipboard.

I was told by the 2 people yesterday, in the AZ area, it was personal responsibility and one lady came out of her booth and simply walked out the door saying "my husband's waiting for me, doubt anybodies died 15mins after the jab" and was followed by people who realised "it's their final jab, what's anybody going to do?".

My missus waited 10 mins, sister in law barely 5 mins I'd say. She's the one who saw the lady wait zero minutes and left with her and a crowd of others.

Before you see it being ranted about by local papers, on twitter and facebook but the racing is going ahead tomorrow again in Limerick on the 18th June so the vaccines will stop again tomorrow temporarily.

Still bad optics even if they are doing more per day vs the Radisson.

Only for those that want to find something wrong with the vaccine programme.

The alternative could have been the Racecourse said you can't have the facility if you want a continuous run of days, then you'd have the same moaners saying why not use the bigger facility for the days it's available.

Bringing wife out today for her 1st Pfizer (43), and I (42) have an appointment in Ennis for Sunday to get the Moderna one. Delighted! :-D
