Day 23 and finally got the text (first morning I didn't look at the portal ironically)

DOB - 1976
Location - Cork City Hall
Date - Wednesday 16 June (6 more days)
Flavour - Pfizer
Mood - Worn out but relieved. I'm afraid the elated ship sailed about 10 days ago...

In fairness I can confirm the existence of the escalation team. I got a call from HSE live about 60 seconds after receiving the text to see if I had. Did have a brief discussion. He is on that team. He was the 4th HSE person I spoke to, 3 of them very helpful the other less so but still fine. I asked if there was any way of going sooner given there are MVCs doing Pfizer with a few km of me today and tomorrow but he said no. Fair enough (but still not sure why they can't slot one person in). So 6 more days it is, but I will take it at this stage. Awfully stressful few weeks, my heart goes out to those older than me still waiting. Horrible feeling of helplessness.

Hopefully this whole spell in our lives will be but a mad memory this time next year.

Brilliant news Rebelbrowser! It's a pity they couldn't slot you in sooner but at least you have your appointment now and won't have to keep checking the portal/your texts for an update.

So there wasn't any reason given for why you were waiting longer than others you know in the area?

It seems to be that some are randomly unlucky and do go to the 3wk limit without hearing anything so I'll have to try to be patient... I'm just one week now post-registration.

What tweet? That sounds like they'll work their way down through a list, not that a whole load of people just show up. Frontline/Group would be AZ and are being done.

Yes they are required to have a standby list following National guidelines, I was just wondering who is on the list, is it people that indicate they are available at very short notice or ( as I presume) people who are frontline or group 4/7 who are still waiting for some reason....from the the article I read it seems to be the latter....but there are a few people on this thread that mentioned they 'got a call from a vaccine centre' to see if they could attend straight away

@Rebelbrowser just curious, are you in a vulnerable category ?

I've scrolled back for today's comments & haven't seen anything about City West. A listener texted Pat Kenny today giving out about a 90 minute delay and I think pat said they were expecting longer delays as the day went on

I was at Citywest last night. Appt 18.20. Only got to park my car at around 18.20 after 25min traffic to get into CW. 90 mins of queuing. Got the shot in my arm at 19.55. Was delighted to sit down finally when I got the shot !

Following this with great interest, I'm due tomorrow with the exact same circumstances - I'm hoping all goes well this evening... please do report back!

Just to update

I turned up but they could not find me on the system but they kept waving me through for the next person to check. Eventually got in front of registration desk armed with my text and she chevked my pps on data base it said I'd declined to attend.

She scoffed and said its a glitch and registered me and all was done within 15 mins of driving In. Only registered online this day last week and I should of only registered on Sunday.

all the girls and staff were so nice am delighted.

Not that I know of! There are many, many people more in need and deserving of the vaccine than me. I just stood out because Cork is going so quickly and I didn't really know of anyone even two or three years younger without an appointment, let alone anyone my age unvaccinated. But plenty 1976s and older still unvaccinated in North Dublin, Louth, Meath, etc. Mine was a first world problem, but it was my first world problem!

D3 seems to be moving now, appointments going out so fingers crossed the other centres are also going well

Good, the staff have enough to be dealing with there supporting and helping those who arrived on time, on schedule to get vaccinated as opposed to people trying to chance their arm...

There was one this morning looking to skip in who I suspect or well I could tell was a drug addict giving the the staff a bad time, no vaccination card, or knowledge if he had an appointment or didn’t ...and me behind him getting my vaccination card out he turns stands two feet in front of me and starts shouting , “hey bud tell them, you don’t mind if I”.. ..nice...

Fuçk it, I’m vaccinated so yassssssssss

Id have thought drug addicts would all have been vaccinated long before now.

AZ is available for under 50s if there's no alternative available

OH was 25min from arrival to leaving today, including the 15min wait after the jab.

Fair play Letterkenny, well done.

It's great ain't it. I was less then 30 mins and that included them having to look for me haha

FutureGuy

44, Limerick City, have the Pfizer jab on Monday 14th.

Indestructable

Hmm if there are 40 year olds being done in some sites then they need to open registration for 35-39 sooner. Can't hold up Cork or Kilkenny so Dublin and Meath can catch up.

NIMAN

Apparently still a high number of no-shows across the country.

What is wrong with people?

Why register if you aren't going to show up?

Spoke to a local chemist in Donegal today, they reckon it'll be 3 weeks before they can administer jabs, with booking through HSE website as usual.

Wonder is a number of these down to glitching? If I didn't go along today I would of shown up as a no show and declined vaccine.

Very strange they said no AZ for under 50s. 8 wouldn't be surprised if your appointment gets cancelled.

That's what happened to some under 50s due to get J&J.

Are you going to take it? Could end up not been fully vaccinated until Sep.

Yea that's what I think. My husband registered with portal, but in meantime he got a call from GP and got it that way.

Eventually got app few weeks later through the portal, so rang them to explain and cancel the app.

20mins later another app texted to him!

He has to ring again to cancel.

Some people wouldnt be bothered ringing up twice to cancel.
