When I haven’t been on this forum for a while, the first thing I always do is go back a few pages and read the posts. There is so much repetition of the same inaccurate information tonight!

The cohorts can self register from tomorrow
How will that be policed?
Sure anyone could say they're in one

RTE said that it's also open to those without underlying conditions this week as below

'The registration will also open for the 45-49 age group, starting with those aged 49. Registration will be available for people aged 48 on Thursday, 47 on Friday, 46 on Saturday and 45 on Sunday'

Incorrect...try it and see.

I do indeed stand corrected !
A friend of mine (mid 40s) was adamant they registered last week , sent me the screen shot and was urging me to do the same .
Must have been pulling my leg

So if it’s cut off by year then 44 year olds might get lucky if they are born in 1976

You know you have to produce ID verification and would be surprised if high risk did not have to produce a long term illness card or at the very least a doctors letter to prove that they actually are who they are claiming to be!

Portal is working right now... for any DoB from 1976.

I've just done a few tests with the portal and anyone with a DoB older than 1976 can register right now rather than having to wait until it officially opens tomorrow.

Just select the 50-69 year old selection box rather than the 'other age category' box within the initial screen and it WILL accept any DoBs now from 1976.

You were never stopped based on your year if you were in that particular range, it's a means of management for those in that group.

Just talking to a friend there on the phone. Very exciting to be finally able to register this week.

2 Questions - What time does the portal open in the mornings ?
Can you use 1 Email address for 2 different people ?

km79

The reality is that anyone of ANY AGE can register anytime they want . They are relying on people’s good will not to register ahead of time .
In theory it makes no difference to when you are called
But it’s the HSE so ........

Risks to under 40s are low and those in their late teens/20s will be more socially active on average so perhaps that's the reasoning behind it. They know if they decided to go with younger ages ahead of 30s there would be drama so they can avoid that like this. Personally I think its wise if they do open up to all under 40 at the same time.

I would have thought that it would be all group 7 under 40 first then go down through the decades but maybe they have a reliable source telling them otherwise?

ObserverOFlife

Does anyone know how long the vaccine works for?

Also, if one decides not to get it yet, will there be a fee for it if you decide, say to get it in 6 months time?

Last metrics we have is 270k vaccinated 7days ago. We are probably around 330-350k now.

Group 4 was for people up to 69years old
Group 7 was for people up to 64years old.
The sum of these 2 groups was 600k people. But a lot of group 7 (50 to 64yo)were vaccinated/have an appointment in their group age.

How many people do you think remain to register on the portal? We are talking about high risk people under 45yo. 100/150k people? That is less than 2 weeks to get through them

By your calculations there

that would be 50% ish left to be done. This group was meant to be done in conjunction with the vulnerable over 60s so should be given priority in MVCs and hopefully be done by end of May?

Two interesting pieces of information in this article from “senior sources”

1. Talk of ditching the age-based approach from next month once the country is flooded with vaccines.
2. Talk of distributing J&J through pharmacies.

That's an interesting update re: tomorrow's registrations are for Cohort 4 and 7 only

Will the portal know this info via a PPS number alone?

No that's not what it means.

When they say registration open for those in group 4 or 7 who've yet to be vaccinated or healthcare workers who didn't get an appointment they must be between ages 45-49, this stops a free for all.

age 49 opens tomorrow and 48 Thursday etc

This is not my interpretation. It is also generally opening for 45-49 though apparently calling 49 first as they usually do.

RTE says the following

“People at very high risk, or high risk, of Covid-19 due to underlying conditions can register for their vaccination from tomorrow, if they are aged 45-49 and have not yet got an appointment from their hospital or GP.”

My reading of this is that only high risk people aged over 45 can register.

So do we think they are going to try to accelerate the vaccination of the vulnerable cohort 7s through MVC by accelerating them on an age scale alongside the regular age cohorts?

RTE's tweet doesn't specify the age so nevermind
