Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date

JimmyVik

Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date.
So we can see exactly what ages they are vaccinating at any time.
Dont post if you've already been vaccinated.
Obviously I havent got an appointment to post, so am curious to find out what age they are actually doing at the moment.

As per above in thread, you are getting JJ so they are waiting on a shipment I suspect. Appreciate its annoying but that's the explanation.

Yes, received the text notification later on Sunday. About 3-4 hours after I
checked the portal.

Anyone get a text in last day or so, seems to be slowing down. Impatient 45 year old here. Husband is 47 and he hopes to hear something by end of week. But not sure as his 48 year old pals still have yet to hear.

I hear ya! My 49 y/o husband was jabbed at Aviva yesterday. I'm 47 and keep obsessively listening for texts. I even set-up a special ring tone for my texts called 'jackpot' :-D The closer it gets, the more painful the wait feels...

Talked to two work colleagues in Cork today. One 47 year old getting jabbed today, the other 48 year old has heard nothing. Still a lot of randomness it seems...

Was just wondering exactly the same thing, particularly for the Galway MVC.

On this thread people said that Galway were vaccinating 51 year olds on Sat, 50 on Sunday, 49 on Monday. Haven't heard about after that. My hubby is 47, hasn't received a text yet.

Anybody from Galway any info on it? Thanks so much

For the love of God stop derailing this thread with moaning about vaccine efficacy.

Not arguing with you as I can see your point, but wasn't J&J shown to be 100% effective at preventing hospitalisation and death 28 days after injection ?
Honestly I don't know enough about efficacy Vs effectiveness and the ins and outs of it all to comment definitively but I think the media are getting a little too hung up on comparing vaccines and percentages tbh.

All of the available Covid-19 vaccines are 100% effective at preventing hospitalization or death.

Efficacy rates reported from clinical trials are not directly comparable, given that the trials were conducted differently and at different times. E.g., the J&J vaccine was trialed at a time when Covid had become more prevalent and variants more common.

Public health advice has been consistent: Take the first vaccine offered to you. Stop fretting about efficacy rates.

So, if you get an appointment, go and get vaccinated with what you are offered.

Depends on what you mean by fully vaccinated
J&j is similar to Astrazenica but only 1 shot so less effective over all in real world tests against the UK variant (72 vs 90)
No data on it for the Indian but Astra at the w/end was 60% overall
J&j has to be less
Basically younger people will end up more protected than older,which is crazy

There's even some argument that its a very good option...

If the 50+ age gets the Janssen next week or after, they will be fully vaccinated before the 40+ ages who are getting 1st Pfizer vaccines this week, so there is the logic of 50+ being held back until then, until deliveries of J arrive.

The official policy in not to hold a group back. It is supposed to go on age. The 50s age group got mostly Pfizer in the last few weeks rather than let younger go ahead of them.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason to the way ages are getting ahead of others. At the end of the day an extra week or to isn't the end of the world now that the 70, & 80s are covered

The centres must not have the capacity /personnel/vaccine supply to deal with the populations they are servicing. Extremely bad planning!! Not good enough!

The centres obviously do not have the capacity to deal with the population numbers they are servicing, otherwise they wouldn't be suggesting travelling to neighbouring counties. The drogheda centre is a bit of a red herring as its mostly vaccinating health care workers (and I'm absolutely not suggesting HCWs aren't due them) rather than general public registering through the HSE portal. So while vaccine figures have been given for that site you'd wonder how many are HCW 2nd doses and how many are newly vaccinated people.

Not much of an improvement really.
Sure the rest of the country is headed into the 40s today.
2 weeks behind Cork, Ennis etc.

Yes but if they are only 2 weeks behind everywhere else it'll be an improvement on being 4 weeks behind everywhere else as they are at the moment!

How does it happen that the 49 yr old gets appointment before the 51 yr old?

Seems to be very little logic in the system, when dealing with same MVC.

51/50 year olds are probably being held back in order to receive some future J&J deliveries since they are the only age group left who can use them.

AGE 60 and registered at Dundalk for 4 WEEKS.... and still not a sign of being called!!
Checking online portal twice a day (morning and evening) and have phone on all the time in case I miss a text. Even drove by the Fairways today to see what was happening and yes, it looked VERY busy. But you would despair at their rate of getting through people in Louth when most other areas are way ahead. I'm sure the staff at all the MVCs are doing their best but how can some centres be so far ahead of others? But because its the HSE organising this roll out, its hard to be surprised that this has happened!

makes me think this half assed centre in Drogheda is actually slowing up things. no disrespect to the staff who i am sure are doing their best. Sick of hearing about 40s group being done ahead of me. Get the finger out.

For anyone in Drogheda area see update from Fergus O'Dowd's Facebook page I was linked to. Registered 6th May myself and nothing as yet as are some 60 year olds I know. Hopefully its going to speed up.

Update on Vaccine Rollout Louth/MeathðŸš¨
ðŸ’»Lots of queries coming in from residents worried about not getting appointments after registering. The Head of Primary Care services has confirmed to me that they are working towards all 50-69 being completed by next week in County #Louth. This may involve individuals being offered appointments in neighbouring counties.
ðŸ™The HSE have asked for people to remain patient and to attend their appointments.
ðŸ’‰Since opening, the Fairways Centre has offered 12,765 appointments, 10,849 people have been vaccinated, 1968 have DNA.
ðŸ’‰Since opening, the #Drogheda DIFE centre has offered 1356 appointments, 1120 people have been vaccinated, 236 have DNA.
ðŸ’‰#Meath Vaccination Center is at max and they are looking at options for increasing further capacity
ðŸ’‰Since opening Simonstown has offered 17,025 appointments. 14,790 people have been vaccinated and 2431 have DNA (as stand by lists are used there is a difference between the number of DNA and those get vaccinated)
ðŸ’¡As more vaccinators are employed I will campaigning for longer opening hours for our community vaccination centres

Ged Nash had exactly the same information on his Facebook page today. Lots of unhappy and anxious posters on his page.
