    I registered my dad on Friday, he got a txt Saturday morning with an appointment this Wednesday at City west!
    Hopefully they can manage, they had large queues out the place last week. I'm not sure how quick they were getting people in and out.

    I'm up there tomorrow late afternoon.......I'll let you know what it's like.

    This is surprising. He asked this question at the briefing. They told him they didn't know exactly but the HSE had told them they were pleasant surprised with the engagement so far.
    Wonder what changed in the intervening hours?

    Numbers released this evening of only a 60% registration for the 65 to 69 age group.Even allowing for a small percentage in that cohort vaccinated,this
    is as i thought would happen,and of the 60% a small number will not show up for
    their appointment.I am in the 69 age group, registered on Thursday heard nothing yet.

    To be fair I don't think the change from being invited for the vaccine to having to actively register has been communicated all that well.

    One thing we can be sure of, we will never be told what was 'expected'.
    Just leave it suitably vague so that those who want to, can continue to peddle gloom and disappointment.

    I'd say it depends on the location you are assigned too and number if slots they have. If I were you and you didn't hear by Wednesday I would call hse live. Best of luck with it

    Why have only 96,000 out of 256,000 in HCWs gotten their 2nd dose?
    Did many of them get AZ?

    The cohort size estimates don't look right. Only 1,000 in cohort 6 and 450,000 in cohort 5? Would have imagined the combined total to be around 250,000.

    Actually I'm not even sure are they bothering to split cohorts 5/6 anymore?

    Edit: just saw the following post with the rejigged cohorts

    Have the numbers in cohort 1 been removed from cohort 3 as i think the over 70 population is about 490,000?

    I guess that might be down to location?

    If "only" 60% of 65-69s have registered, how many more are there in this age-group who are being contacted because of their high-risk condition? That could add quite a lot to the percentage of the 65-69 cohort who are in the process in some way.

    Seems so, I thought it would've been smaller though.

    That's not what was said to him at the briefing and the HSE are saying its alot more signed up than they expected so far. All looks to be going very well

    My guess is that initially HCW were primarily given Pfizer/Moderna, but later on, this was switched to AZ. This would explain how it reached 96k reletavely fast (the 2nd dose after 4 weeks) and then plateaued.

    Yes I was wondering that myself, which is why it jumped out at me so much,

    Its about 5mins into the 9 O Clock news on RTE if anyone is really interested.

    My 69 y.o. Sis in Sligo registered a week ago. She's heard nothing. Her knitting club reckons Sligo is not being targeted for appointments as much as some other places as their Covid cases are so low. Possible link?

    Funny. The knitting clubs in Kilkenny are saying appointments are progressing well even though it has the lowest infection rate in the country

    A good lot of them did, but largely not the immediately frontline medical staff. So lots of the likes of dentists, dental assistants, pharmacists, GP practice staff etc. that didn't get done in the initial hospital rollout.

    Amen to that. People have had their fill of the pandemic - a year gone out of everyone's lives.

    HSE updates vaccine roll-out plan on ‘working assumption’ of no Johnson & Johnson doses

    https://www.independent.ie/news/hse-updates-vaccine-roll-out-plan-on-working-assumption-of-no-johnson-and-johnson-doses-40332594.html

    Makes sense to plan without J&J

    For that vaccine to be of no use whatsoever would be terrible though

    We badly need the 600,000 doses turned into 600,000 fully vaccinated people

    Probably. But vaccines will prevent serious illness so all lockdowns and other restrictions will soon be gone. So substantively Covid will be no more.

    I would think the more likely explanation is that the numbers are much smaller
    in the north west and we will all get called in the next couple of days.

    Father in law is in the Midlands, registered on Friday but nothing yet. His nearest vaccination centre isn't open yet so that's probably why. I think it's very much location dependent.

    True but vaccinated people will be able to live alongside Covid.
