I take it there is still very little J&J being administered?

I have turned down the Pfizer 3 times now hoping to get a non- mRNA vaccine but I think that's all I'll be offered at this stage.

Why would you do that?

If you're over 50 you'll be able to get J&J in pharmacies soon. Otherwise it's an mRNA and no amount of cancelling appointments will change that.

Are you under 50? If yes then you’ll be waiting a longtime for an adenovirus vaccine as only available to under 50s if no mRNA vaccine available. Given that sufficient is available, low propspect of J&J for that cohort. Kind

Wife got her 1st Pfizer on Sunday. She was a bit dizzy that day and on Monday had slightly elevated temperature, but now she's back to normal.

No issues so far. Delighted to get the ball rolling and can't believe the turnaround was so quick from registration to getting the vaccine.

You're the 3rd person today to tell me they are holding out for a non mRNA vaccine. Do you mind me asking why?

FYI: J&J in Aviva tomorrow.

I am curious as well. Why you dont want Pfizer, seems like most people happy with it.

I have an autoimmune issue- thyroid disease (really struggle to control my levels). I'm lead to believe there are studies into the the possible effects of mRNA vaccines on people with these conditions but there is no real information available yet. I suppose you could say I'm using an abundance of caution until there is more info available.

It is really slow news since Friday when a mass of invites were sent out. Nothing seems to be happening since bar a trickle of invites picking up 76ers like yourself (I presume) still waiting on appointments. I think the progress of last Thur and Fri raised expectations but it was just getting out invites for the long weekend ahead and now it is low key again.
The SW is going well, though. Dublin region is slowly processing the numbers where the bulk of working age people live due to the spatial imbalance of our economy.

44. Missed my appointment this morning.:(

Registered last week and hadn't been monitoring my texts because I lazily assumed it would be at least a couple of weeks before I got word.

How soon am I likely to be rescheduled?

Go now like NOW !
They only check if appointment is same day.

SusanC10

Was talking to a friend there now. Same age as me - 45.

Anyone experience this? She said when she logged into the Portal today that it showed her 1st dose scheduled and a blue box saying "Show Appointment details". When she clicked on this, the screen went blank/white and when she refreshed it, it went back to Awaiting Appointment. She rang the Helpline but they are saying that she rescheduled her Appointment and must wait for a new one.

Good to hear. I'm supposed to be cycling Mizen to Malin a week after the shot so I'm hoping it'll be same as yourself and doesn't derail me in any major way. I can handle a sore arm.

Do they advise you to take paracetamol before and iboprufen afterwards?

I got Moderna 1st dose nearly two weeks ago.. Sore arm for a day or two afterwards.... No other issues. I wasn't given (or ask for) any advice on what to take or not take

42, registered Friday 4th June, got text Monday 7th June, appointment Friday 11th June, Cork City Hall. Can't believe I will have my first jab within a week of registering!

43, registered Thursday 3rd and got appointment for today on Friday. Husband is the same age, registered on Thursday, gave his name on the waiting list for vaccine and got vaccinated next day because they had some excess. Both in Tullamore.

Growing consensus = one person? Assuming AZ can deliver enough this month a lot of that group can be done and there will be few if any new AZ recipients. Over 60s were pencilled in for July originally, when apparently AZ have said they'll have loads.

No. If that happened to me (mind you I'd need an appointment first) at this stage I would scream. That is shocking luck. As a 45 year old your friend has been waiting long enough. As I've said, the system is working for 99% of people but for those of us experiencing HSE IT glitches we have no control over its a nightmare.

I can't believe it either, but in a different way...

All joking aside, congrats.

Your saga is darkly comical at this stage. The forgotten man.

I'm wondering is it something like your surname starting 'o fada' and it drops you to the bottom of the list every time the system does a re-sort?

What year are they down to in the Aviva now?

I just got my 1st Pfizer jab in the Helix.
It was organized in a very professional way and everyone was very nice.
Can't wait to see my 2nd appointment appear on the system

Nah, no such explanation. I'm too close to it to laugh, but yeah it's hugely ironic that I've been on boards posting about vaccines for months, obsessively analysing patterns of progress of the vaccine, speculating to (often apathetic) friends about when we would we be vaccinated and then, when the moment came, I'm the 1 in 100 (or 1000?) that slips through the net. I suspect some of my friends think it's hilarious in the darkly comic way you suggest and I hope in time, after lots and lots of therapy, I'll see it that way too!

I should say its only because I'm in Cork with its fast progress I stand out. Clearly loads of other 1976ers in the east and north east still to be done.

What actually happened Rebelbrowser? Have you been registered for a while and haven't heard anything, is it?

Yeah, 20 days and counting! I'm told HSE can manually intervene tomorrow and give me an appointment as 21 days will be up. 45 year old friends of mine got texts 15 days ago and I have confident texts to friends still on my phone from that day where I proudly announced we would all be vaccinated before May was out. May 2022 now the next target! That'll learn me to count my chickens.....

Racecourse only. I've seen reports of 43 year olds with Friday appointments and 42 year olds on Saturday. I'm 42 but have no appointment yet.

Haha, aw that's annoying now! I'm eager to hear when the 30's will be open for regsitration myself. Where did you see that you should receive an appt within 21 days? Does it come in the confirmation of registration email?

mac.in

Is it mandatory to take the phone with sim that is used for registering in vaccination portal, or is the screenshot of the appointment confirmation enough, to the vaccination centre?

From this morning I'd say a screenshot would do you. Why would you not want to bring your phone with sim? It seems very odd...

I didn't have my phone with me but had all the details and it was fine.

It's for my spouse. I registered her using my phone number.:D:D

I had appointment in Greystones this morning. Was never asked for my phone, just my name, time of appointment, photo ID, and PPS number.

Superbly efficient. Got out of the car at 12.10,was back in it 45 minutes later. Everyone I dealt with was so pleasant and cheery.

Just forward the text to her phone. You don't need screenshot.

I showed up with my daughter's passport instead of mine. I'm very organised obviously. I had to use my driving licence with my maiden surname and it was fine.

44. Registered last Tuesday night, got text on Friday morning.

From the brief bit of the list I could see at the door the birthdates all seemed to be late 1976 or early 1977.

Next monday at 4pm and I'm 24. Local doctors gave me a call and said they are trying to get all patients jabbed before the next strain. They are using the Pfizer vaccine.

Cheers! Nearly there so.

If you in your 40s they won't offer you anything apart from mRNA vaccine. They actually cancelled some people apps early on that were being offered J&J.

You may never be offered one if you in your 40s.

Is there a medical reason you want AZ or J&J?

I'm 40. I registered on Friday afternoon after a friend younger than me told me they had succesfully done so. Got the text on Friday evening and have an appointment at the centre tomorrow morning. I'm in the Midlands.

ClosedAccountFuzzy

They don't seem to be working in reverse order of age. I'm seeing very random people getting appointments in both Cork City Hall and PUC.

Any idea what the criteria for texting out appointments is? Is it by blocks of addresses or something?

I'm seeing people from 1977 without appointments and people who are from 1981 and have been vaccinated.

42 years old. Registered on Thursday 3rd. Got text this eve with an appointment for Friday 11th. Co Monaghan. Pfizer.

Yeah, there is accepted potential for mRNA vaccines to exacerbate autoimmune conditions which I have (low thyroid and rheumatoid arthritis) - it is being investigated so I’d rather wait till more is known.
