So the main question is, why have they moved on so quickly to people in their 40's and 50's when people in the 60's are still waiting to be called??

Sister 59 got jab a week ago & younger sister who is 51 got first jab before her. My wife 52 got her first jab two weeks ago. I am 54 & have worked in over 1500 peoples homes in the past 12 months and I have no appointment yet! Same GP as my wife. Like most things the HSE do, there seems to be no logic in the way they do things

In the end they relented. Not that she was in any specific category, she just wanted it! She's been done since the end of March. Not really too keen on this and I wouldn't do it myself as I feel there are far more deserving people than me, but some people, would walk all over you. If your in the at risk category by all means go for it.

He didn't qualify as medical risk so his GP told him to register & give date of birth as 70 year old. He had vaccination a day or two later. Daughter 29 & no medical conditions got one before him because her GP had extras. If she could get to the surgery the next day she would get vaccine. She got vaccine. It's all a bit of a mess
