Would anyone know whether they are administering Pfizer in the Aviva today?

I'm 42 and have an appointment for my first dose on Thursday, but due to fly out exactly 28 days later so wondering if there is any way to get both doses a few days earlier...
(I checked the history of this thread but couldn't see anyone with an Aviva appointment for today or tomorrow)

I know someone going to the Aviva for their second AZ dose today. Other than that, a couple of 41 year-olds I know are both getting Pfizer in the Aviva on Thursday.

Got confirmation text for 2nd jab 3 weeks and 3 days later.
2nd jab exactly 4 weeks after 1st.

Thanks for that

I’m on day 28 now for Pfizer- still no text-I was expecting it to be either tomorrow or Wednesday- people seem to be getting notification a good 3 days in advance?

Day 29 for me - I got less than 24 hours notice for the first, in Citywest.

1978 and still no appointment.

Citiwest seems to be a bit of a shambles. I know of a load of people 1978/1977 that are still waiting on jabs from there....but heard of one lady over the weekend 1979 that got a jab there.


also not sure why North Kildare are directed there instead of punchestown?

How can it have stalled? June has been the busiest month so far. We’ve hit daily and weekly records for number of vaccines administered.

It's definitely came to a standstill for those in their early 40s been called for their first appointment. Alot of these early 40s will soon be hitting 21 days since registering without even getting a text for an appointment. Hopefully, it speeds up again soon for those cohorts and the cohorts coming directly after them.

Well I know someone that was 40 that was due appointment yesterday in Meath.

Loving your anecdotal statements saying it's definitely stalled. As others pointed out they are doing record numbers so how can you say it's stalled.

If you have some stats to back up your claim then great otherwise leave it to people posting about appointment dates etc

It's just demographics

More people in early 40s than any other age.
(More moaners in early 40s too?)

It looks obvious that there's no slowdown as people in their 40's are getting appointments in the helix, aviva, croker, punchestown etc. It looks like Citywest is prioritising AstraZeneca maybe for 2nd doses at the moment, and so not a lot of movement on the 40s there over the last week?

Calm yourself down and no need to be getting defensive over what folks own personal experiences are. This thread is all the better for posters posting about how they're getting on going through the system.

The calling of people for second doses earlier than had been previously anticipated could only but cause certain bottlenecks in the system alright.

and the fact that these folks being called early are in the 60+ age group, and thus considered vulnerable, it's absolutely fine that they get their 2nd dose and are considered vaccinated..

Well off what should be the timeframe here.

That's not what anybody has been saying. Of course, it's a good thing that these people are being called back earlier, I have said that numerous times in this thread already. I think very few people would say anything otherwise. It is very much to be welcomed and I have family members myself in this very cohort.

Ah no don’t tell me that.

It’s so weird - there’s a set number of people who got vaccinated 28 days ago- you’d think the second jab would be a simple rinse and repeat exercise- I wonder is it a reduced number of jabbers available due to the holiday season?

Don't disagree, but others outside that age group are vulnerable too.

despite govt /hse talking about different cohorts being prioritised, thats kinda gone out the window and we are now at age related stage.

A number of posters in this thread always want to put down snags or quirks in the system as a supply issue. It cannot always be put down as a supply issue though and there's definitely issues arising from the administration side of things as well.

Getting second jab Sat 26th, but got confirmation text on 16th (10 days in advance). This will make it 32 days after 1st jab.

Feel great, so far!

Second Dose received: 21 Jun (4 weeks and 10 minutes later)

Another week to go until I can lick door handles again!

Some of the 45-49 age cohort should be getting their texts around now for Pfizer jab No.2 right?

If you add them in, plus the over-50's/health care workers AZ 2nd jab being brought forward, it's not at all surprising that the vaccinations for the 40-42 year olds have slowed down somewhat.

I think the fact that we flew through the 45-49 1st doses, and the 43-44 year olds got texts days after registering gave people a false sense that the younger age categories would be done just as quickly.

Day 30 here in Cork, no text for the 2nd Pfizer. Not on portal either. Would prefer to be given a date, for whenever, rather than just waiting and wondering.

As per the OP please say your region/area as it's informative and helpful to others.

The rollout is slowing, and is obviously going to slow. The latest HSE stats (from https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/rollout/) show that 61% of population have received 1 dose and 31% are fully vaccinated with 3.45 million doses administered. A rough calculation shows that approx 1.15 million people need to receive a second dose in the next 4 weeks. Thats approx 287.5k slots of the probably 300k-350k per week available (was record of approx 330k last week). When vaccination of the over 50s started, there was nowhere near that number of second vaccinations scheduled (as AZ wasn't on a 8 week schedule for second dose and over 70s were vaccinated through GP surgeries).
How slow it is in different areas depends on the age profile of the cohort in the area and the age profile of the older cohort that are due their second dose.

PhoenixParker

That's not the rollout as a whole slowing right now. It's the number of first doses slowing. The number of doses being handed out is huge this week and for at least the two weeks after that.

After that the rollout will probably slowing due to a reduced supply.
