Dad got the vaccine today in the Aviva, just home and chuffed.
Got off the train at 11:20, and was sitting in the observation area after the vaccine by 11:35, he couldn't believe how fast everything was ran down there

Good stuff, sounds like the teething issues around queues etc at the Aviva have been worked out.

I think it's luck of the draw - 1hr for me yesterday in Aviva lunchtime - when I arrived I was at the far end of the building in queue to register. by the time I had registered and moved around to the next queue, there was no one queueing to register. It took a friend who was there midafternoon yesterday 90 mins to get in and out.

I'm sure the answer to this, maybe silly question, is an obvious "yes", but presumably if, for the sake of argument, Cork got all their 60s finished, they then start into their 50s and don't have to wait for, say, Galway to be finished their 60s too ?
This being the case, I don't know why people were getting their knickers in a twist last week at the thought of some cohorts potentially being done in parallel, sure there's always going to be overlap to a greater or lesser degree. I know its a different situation, but still.

If Covid has shown us anything this last year is that people will get their knickers in a twist about god damn everything!

As you say there's always going to be overlap, sure we had 60-69 starting before all over 70 were done.

It's not a case of waiting for one group to finish before going onto the next.

I don't know why people were so up in arms about 40's and 50s running together for example, it'll happen as some point anyway as we have now with other ages.

Thought they hadn't run trials on that age group yet?

It's getting a bit daft, likelihood is if you are over 50 and and in group 7 you are more likely to get it quicker via age based rollout and the online registration system.

Feel very sorry for the younger people in group 7 who have been very much left in the dark and have no registration process open to them, just told to wait for a call.

According to the dashboard only 1400 done so far. Hasn't really increased. It's almost like GP's are classing them as group 4.

My GP is not participating with the vaccine rollout past over 70's. Consultant in the clinic I attend, said they passed everyone's name forward for vaccines to the HSE. So I'm just wondering when the HSE will get around to it. Seems it's only the GP's doing them now, well from people's comments on here at least.

pc7 · 06-05-2021 02:46PM

Is there a lag on the data in regard to who has a vaccine as per charts above?

Original plan was for cohort 4 to be hospital led, it wasn't working well so they asked GPs to take the lead, they agreed but it's led to groups 4 & 7 being conflated. If you look at the official numbers only about 0.3% of cohort 7 have been given a dose.

So it seems the ones being done now are being recorded as cohort 4.

42,000 done yesterday according to Reid

That was 34,600 doses Wednesday last week.

If confirmed, that means that at the end of Wednesday we have 4k more doses given than same day last week. Good effort despite the bank holiday and still on track to reach 220k

Must be,I know I'm 7 as are 2 of my family members also done
That said,the files are done on paper there,is there even a method to upload these at gp office level
Could be a lot more done in the 7 cohort than showing

I was in and out in no time at the Aviva this morning at 9.00. No queues anywhere along the line.

I suspect the backlogs later in the day could well be down to people arriving late and messing up the scheduling but I could be wrong.

60-64s:
21% have received a vaccine
9% have an appointment

This is kinda low is it not?

They're looking at incorporating a new category into the Dashboard for the 1 shot J&J numbers to differentiate from the other 2 shot vaccines.

What's the average wait between registration and getting an appointment? It looks around two weeks or so based on those stats.

Is there a need?

If you change the 2nd doses administered to people fully vaccinated you'll accomplish the same thing.

Then when J&J are given out they'll be counted in both 1st dose and Fully vaccinated totals.

My OH finally managed to get through her GP after two weeks of trying. Cohort 4, told to watch the "media" to register for the vaccine, that they have her on a list but she has to wait for a portal to open. Madness as my GP has vaccinated through Cohort 4 and almost all of 7.

Anyone else been told this?

And the rest in the queue awaiting an appointment? It's still a weird to quote.

I think some Cohort 7 people in their 50s have been told they may as just wait for the portal to open for their age group...
I haven't heard of it as a general solution specifically for cohort 4 and 7 where the GP isn't participating in the vaccination program for those cohorts.

Why is it weird? They are just giving a progress update.
