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.

My mrs did, texted NEW to the text message appointment, hasn’t heard anything yet

She was due Janssen on May 21, she requested NEW on May 19 so 8/9 days ago

I had that appointment in Aviva but needed to reschedule it due to some personal issues. Nothing heard since then.

I dont actually mind Janssen or any of them. Tried calling HSE helpline but they cant do anything. You just have to wait. No timeline, nothing.

Actually, I don't have a clue about texts.
I rescheduled on the portal.

Was is in the Aviva?

Sleeper 12 rescheduled 4 or 5 times and eventually was scheduled for Pfizer.

No, Limerick

Thought you could only text NEW twice?

Do you have to call after that?

maxwell smart

Rang the 'Helpline' there. Be better shouting out my window

Did get an email asking me to volunteer at Punchestown as a marshall! They are toying with me!!

Anyone know of anyone who refused the Johnson and Johnson and asked for something else. Did anyone get anywhere with that?

Sounds like Cork are leading the pack anyway. Heard nothing yet myself. Anyone any info on where they are in Laois?

A mate of mine in Ratoath got sent down to Mullingar for his.. that's a bit of a trek!

the delay may be because they are giving u45s a choice of J&J which would probably require a slight tweak of the registration portal.

That's old news. Today's news is that we are getting let down on the delivery of J&J for June. Indication of this could be seen a few weeks ago..

50s age group will be getting Pfizer that they thought might be going to under 50s. Today they are saying their targets don't look good

patscott27

Reading on Rte site that 600,000 JJ vaccine expected by end of June could be between 60,000 and 235,000.

Pretty sure it was reported that we'd hear an announcement around now, not that registration would be open now.

40s is a large cohort. Whether you register today or next week won't make any difference to when you get the vaccine, they still have the same numbers of people to get through.

Actually, from this article at https://extra.ie/2021/05/26/news/politics/vaccination-portal-40-45-fine-gael-pp-varadkar the delay may be because they are giving u45s a choice of J&J which would probably require a slight tweak of the registration portal.

Well I am saying that the time for them to register keeps getting pushed back. I can look it up if you want but Government sources indicated in the last week that they would be registering around now. Then the IT yesterday reported Government sources as saying it would be next week. Now RTE, presumably being briefed by Government sources, are saying the middle if next week. You are correct, no appointments were scheduled and pushed back, or anything like that , but the time for registering has been. Again, no one's fault, they are doing their best, but it's still disappointing.

I know a few 50 year olds being done in the Helix today with pfizer.

Anybody got any appointments for Galway Racecourse MVC over the next few days. They are doing AZ for Healthcare workers today, as far as I am aware.

But I have no info about the next few days. Any info greatly appreciated. Anybody with an appointment in next few days - week for Galway?

Brother in law 53 only getting his done tomorrow, seems to be a huge staff shortage....

50 year old still waiting on notification of first appointment in Punchestown, 54 year old received first jab there 1 week ago. Both registered when the portal opened to 50-54 year olds a few weeks ago.

40 minute wait in the car, queued outside in batches of 15, another queue inside for maybe 15minutes to register - there was about 12 registration stations but only 5 open, queue for another 10 minutes to get the jab.

I guess there's no point in opening all the registration desks if that only creates a longer queue for the jab. There may indeed be a staff shortage or shortage of some resource at Punchestown.

Cirywest is second dose healthcare workers with astrazeneca today anyway. Flying through them here.

There is no point opening it up if they can’t honour the 3 weeks waiting period, at the current rate with the HCW getting their 2nd doses it will be at least 2 weeks before the 45s get done and that’s at a push.

You are right, but it can still be disappointing! Clearly Government expectations were that they would be able to open up the registration by now but, for the reason you correctly say, they have had to revise that.

I see RTE now reporting "...Meanwhile, people aged 45 to 49 started to register for vaccine appointments over a week ago, while those aged 40 to 44 will be able to do so from the middle of next week....". The 40-44 cohort keep getting pushed back. Last weekend we were told "later this week" (i.e. around now), then it was the start of next week, now its the middle of next week. Disappointing.

Hardly being pushed back when there never was an indicative date given.

The HSE and Government indicated at the start of the week they would give the timeline for registration later this week, today's Thursday so its later this week and it looks like the timeline is being firmed up to be announced shortly.

40s are the largest demogrpahic yet, its going to take time

It's HCWs and the massively expanded group 2, most of whom were done via the MVCs and back in March/April.

Ahh yes, I forgot about the expanded group 2

I agree with you, but just wondering, are most of the AZ second doses due shortly not mainly HCWs ? Are/were they done through the MVCs or through their workplaces etc ?
I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that when the portal opened to the public first, it was the 60-69 cohort and they largely got AZ and aren't due their second doses until well into July, so could the MVCs not truck along through the cohorts anyway, while the second doses are being given out ?

They're not being pushed as they were never scheduled.

Youngest I know in Dublin getting vaccine this weekend is 48, 49 in Aug. Huge cohort left. I’d say full 2 weeks before they are near 45s.

Age 50 / registered on 12th May / received text on 26th May for an appointment for the 3rd of June for the Janssen vaccine / West Cork

The delay in our area is due to lack of vaccinators. Local hospital nurses have now been asked to volunteer on weekends to help with the vaccines

Fine Cheers

51 / had Pfizer on May 24th (back in 4 weeks) / Westmeath

It does look like in many places they aren't doing to the 45-49s for the next few days. The appointments that are being reported here are increasingly the early 50s cohort. It doesn't look like the 45-49s will be finished for at least another 10 days and possibly longer. Even here in Cork where a good few 45s are being vaccinated today, there are still loads of 46s, 47s and 48s to do and I am not aware of any more 45-49s being done til Sunday (after today).
