Can I just ask as i was not following. Why the vacination is going so slow in ireland. Where i come from people of age less than 18 now are vacinated...

Not sure where you're from but I know in France it's open to those over 18, however there are also higher levels of vaccine hesitancy there too, meaning the vaccination programme can be opened up to wider society to fill the slots not being taken by older citizens.

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

No, unlike the over 80's, and maybe other groups previously, they don't give you a second date on the day.

Edit:

It depends some get it there and then, my GP said they'd be in touch to confirm once they confirm their next deliveries.

Oh, didn't know centres were giving dates on this, or maybe GP's only?

Cohort 7 - 46yo Male - 2nd (Pfizer) jab appointment is Tuesday next week.

I was given the 30th as a date for my 2nd jab, the day I got jab 1, but got a text today to book my 2nd jab and the clinic is on the 25th, happy days.

Differences in demographics and uptake in Ireland nearly absolute in the cohorts that have been vaccinated so far.

Poland has a vaccine hesitancy of almost 40%

86.5% of the overall population here are very likely or likely to get the vaccine. As you go up the age groups that’s closer to 100%. So every vaccine offered in the cohorts opened has been accepted. So the movement to 30s will take longer if you’re seeing say 97% of the 50s being vaccinated vs say 60%.

And weirdly 43% of 80+ seniors didn't take the vaccine in Poland. I think it is because of church.

That would be close to 0% here.

Odd position for the church to take. Not one they took here.

There’s the EU polling on it

I think blaming the Church is a cliche. I do work with a guy from Poland who is strongly "anti-authoritarian", and anti-vax.

It might be a post communist thing.

Date of Vaccination: Tomorrow 18th May
MCV: DIFE, Drogheda
Vaccine: Astra Zeneca

My friend received her text today - information above. She is not happy with AZ . Her father in UK - very poorly. She is afraid that she is not going to get a window of time to see her father again with AZ vaccine. She hasn’t seen him since 2019. This is very upsetting for her. Is there anything she can do? Any chance the vaccine can be changed from AZ to Pfizer/Moderna?

You can travel into UK without restriction (Common Travel Area still being applied for travel to UK) and could always travel back via Belfast.

Teacher here, not vaccinated (obviously).

Is there a mechanism by which people can leave Ireland to go to the UK for a vaccine?

With mine I was just told they'd be in touch in 4 weeks to let me know when to come in, but that was with a doctor.

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!

Thats just pure ignorance and immaturity on the part of the people saying those things
I'd be very short with anyone like that
