If your appointment is for a MVC it'll be whatever is in use there. It'll be a general rollout when it hits the age groups so whatever is in use for the particular age groups will be distributed to the MVC, be it Pfizer, Moderna, AZ, J&J etc. Whatever the centre is given it'll be what they use for the age group their currently giving it to. It's easier to tell at the moment which vaccine is being used where because its only GPs using Pfizer & Moderna & the MVCs are all mainly AZ.

Not something I thought I would say or want and I can't wait for normality. I really want to get on with things and am no way anti vax or all that but just can't shake the lack of confidence in that jab.

I've just read on the journal that Irelands vaccine targets for Mid-April won't be met, and that GP's just refuse signing up to the high-risk groups because of the pressure and stress of the programme to date. I feel like every time Michael Martin made an announcement, he emphasized and completely relied on these vaccine targets as a last resort to give people some form of hope and save this governments image...and now they're not even being met? Is there genuinely anything to be hopeful for at all? Any sign of when normality might return?
