Son 24 , in for his with GP on Friday , high risk also .
Tbh , I'm delighted for him , neither his father nor myself have received our yet , but I wouldn't begrudge anyone who is high risk getting theirs , it's how it should be .

Good luck with yours

Thanks! Yeah I was a bit saddened, some think they're an authority on which conditions are highest risk etc.... I'm happy to let the medical experts decide that one.

Heard nothing. Nothing on the website.

I'm in Bray, so I would expect Aviva or Greystones.

49. Got a text from my GP last Wednesday and I'm due in on Thursday 20th May.

Wasn't told what vaccine would be used. I suppose I don't care particularly but the HSE seems to give differing info for the 40s cohort every other week!

Got called by GP today for vaccination tomorrow, wasn't expecting it. Age mid-30's, south east region. High-risk category. Reaction to this from some friends has been surprisingly negative - assumption that I'm too young to be called and regaled with stories of others who haven't been called yet but based on age or occupation 'deserve' it more. If people are being called in there's a reason! Going to keep quiet about it now as I'd feel obliged to share my medical history with them otherwise!

Absolutely be delighted . My daughter mid 30 cohort 7 has her date for this week
Her friends are thrilled for her and no one begrudges her .

Just wondering with Pfizer are you given the date of your second appointment on the day of 1st or do you wait for text for 2nd appointment

I wasn't given an appointment but was told I would get the second jab in 4 weeks. Or maybe I would hear in 4 weeks not sure

Greystones appointments tomorrow have got a text changing their vaccine from pfizer to Astrazenica

Everyone is under stress waiting on this vaccine and there are numerous tales of people getting the vaccine who do not appear in any way vulnerable. If you have not shared your medical history with friends it is a natural assumption on their part to assume you have a "friend" somewhere in the system. I'm not saying they are right to be negative but I do understand their reaction. I must say I have been taken aback with how smug some people have become upon receiving their vaccine.

What happens if you can't make the appointment on the day that you are offered, is there any scope to move to the next day??

Yeah you're right, everyone is getting antsy waiting and worried about people skipping the queue. I could have been more clear in my post - they all know I have an underlying condition and that I've been very sick at times but I don't go on about it and I put a lot of effort into staying healthy and I do look healthy. It's more that everyone has a story of someone else who is older/has a condition/is a carer/teacher or similar and why haven't they got it yet etc. etc. I've been taken aback by how people throw caution to the wind once vaccinated, how do you mean smug?

54, same town. Have heard nothing yet. Can’t figure out why younger folk have been getting their appts for Greystones. I’m guessing we’ll be sent to the Aviva so.

Tell them to feck off!

I'm early 30s and got a similar reaction from some of my family when I got the call a month ago - because one of my parents is disabled. However my condition puts me in group 4, her multiple conditions put her in group 7. It is what it is.

If anyone's unhappy for you, feck them. They'd be diving on it if they were offered

My friend 54 got called for Moderna in Breffy House Castlebar this Thursday. I am waiting for appointment for Roscommon I am 57 hoping it will be Moderna or Pfizer as heard of some bad reactions locally to Astrozeneca. I wouldn’t mind j & j either as it is one dose.

I'm 54. Dublin city centre. Nothing yet, text or portal. Registered last Sunday. A friend got his first jab today out in Citywest, same age as me. I didn't include a doctor's contact on application, could that make a difference? Personally, I can't see how it would, but of course, I don't know.

41, high risk, first shot this Thursday, second shot 17th june
