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

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.

They've been saying all along the vaccine roll out is on a different system from the hacked HSE database. I don't know what that customer care rep is on about.

Your guess is as good as mine, but there's clearly something amiss and I've no doubt many are missing out on their appointments due to notification failure

well Aviva was empty at lunchtime - did not see another person till i was in the 15 min waiting area! in and out in under 25 mins

Interesting...I wonder when weekly shipments typically arrive. For example, are we seeing a slowdown in texts/appointments while waiting for more vaccine to arrive? I imagine that they don't like to schedule people until they are pretty sure there is enough supply to do the jabs on the day.

I've rescheduled 4 or 5 times now with the Helix and they give me an appointment for the following day. Other centres take longer

How did you manage that? I thought you just got two "new" replies on the text to reschedule

Cheers

The working theory from here, that 50+ group are being held back, for a supply of J&J. Makes more sense than blaming the HSE Cyber-attack date.

It is clear that the vaccination portal, which is on a different system has remained unaffected and still working properly for every other age groups.

It probably is just a theory. Friend 51+ got a text yesterday for an appointment tomorrow in Citywest for Pfizer.

Get out of here with your guesswork. A common factor seems to be people who registered on 13th which was the day of the ransomware attack. I rang the HSE to enquire and they said everything is in order and to call back if I don't get an appointment in five days.

Edit: -

"“We can’t have a scenario where we end up progressing through the ages where we’re in a much younger age group and still waiting for deliveries [of J&J] to finalise the over 50s. Ultimately it needs some flexibility to utilise those Janssens beyond the age currently it’s defined for,” he said."

Looks like that scenario is actually playing out now.

I had to reschedule due to personal reason. Dont mind getting any of the vaccine. Had an appointment for last Staturday. Rescheduled on Friday, heard nothing since then. Waiting another 2 weeks or more for another appointment is ridiculous.

Reschedule can take up to 3 weeks. For me the Helix has only taken a day each time but it does depend on the centre. Some centers are still doing 60s age group.

People are being told to wait their turn which seems to be last as people registeting same age for the same centre get their appointments before them

Someone posted quote a few pages back, he rescheduled and got an appointment in a day which he rescheduled again then got an appointment again in a day.

You will probably get the Janssen (J&J) one-shot vaccine, meaning you will be fully vaccinated 14 days after you receive it.

Even if you have to wait a few more days, you will still be fully vaccinated before those a couple years younger than you who are getting a two-shot vaccine.

I couldn't really care less about getting vaccinated other than it will allow me to travel to see family I haven't seen in a year and a half and work freely in EU countries.

Partner 50, Pfizer, Citiwest this evening

Two weeks now since I have registered, still nothing - no text and nothing on the portal. Friends with same age group have already have an appointment date and some of them have already got vaccinated - both Pfizer and J&J.

Anyone had any success ringing HSE helpline number?

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

Also 50+will be walking around unprotected for another week or two while people in their 40s already building up immunity.
The protection one jab of Pfizer gives is quite high when you compared to the protection you get from Janssen.

How did you manage this? Was it by contacting the Helix directly or the HSE Helpline?
The helpline tells me that they don't know anything about my reschedule so I just have to wait.

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.

Call your GP and they can organize a quieter setting for you to be vaccinated if you have issues with crowds.

They refused to vaccinate me due to an existing mental health condition (I suffered a panic attack in the queue), so waiting on another appointment. I can just see the same thing happening again next time.
The helpline is useless - they can accommodate people with specific physical needs but not mental health needs.
