I don't care when it is but I would really like to have some acknowledgement from the system that my registration is being processed - especially when others are getting appointments around me. Next we'll see the updates from the 45-49's that start registering today

Just rang hse helpline and according to their system I'm down as having not showed up for appointment yesterday despite the fact I was there and for over 2hrs. Said it could be a couple of weeks.. so why are the greystones vac centre misinforming and offering things they cant do ?

Anyway it told me that I was 53. I nearly fell off the chair. I genuinely thought that I was 54. I've been floating on air since. Feels like they gave me an extra year of life!

At the centre I was offered choice of AstraZeneca today or come back in 2 to 5 days for Pfizer. I asked about jab intervals. 12 to 16 weeks for AstraZeneca, 4 weeks for Pfizer. I am now awaiting text with new appointment in next few days.

They can't be used on younger so they wont be ordered in to Ireland or in very limited numbers. The bulk of the vaccines brought in will be other than AZ or J&J. I'm happy to wait another 6 to 8 weeks

What he didn't explain is that the queue is never longer than 3 weeks. So back to end of queue is 3 weeks or less I rang the helpline last night & said I'm not comfortable with astrazeneca or Johnson & Johnson but I'm happy to go to end of the queue & how do I do that? Cancel altogether or what. Was told the end of the queue is no more that 3 weeks at any given time. They said reschedule the appointment & I'll get another one within 3 weeks. They said the vaccine offered may not change so quickly as what is offered is based on what is in stock at the moment. They said keep rescheduling the appointment & eventually something more suitable will be offered. I rang back 30 minutes later to put the same question to another person & was given the same information. This person told me that since they started offering Johnson & Johnson yesterday for parts of the country that they have been flooded with calls like mine & a lot are rescheduling. They already had people rescheduling from astrazeneca & many of these got pfizer offered since
