    I don't know about transport but it was in full swing for a few weeks, is open but not as busy these days (I live in Parteen so pass it a few times a day). It was essentially medical people getting vaccinated(maybe others). I understand they were doctors/nurses etc vital to the rollout to the public so needed to be vacinnated first.

    Both staff and service users of some health departments in Limerick. Transport would have been provided for the users. I would say they are all done or nearly by now though

    What's the story with getting a test done now.
    Can a person simply drive to the Ballysimon centre or is an appointment needed.?

    It was walk/drive in on Monday. I'm pretty sure it still is, simply because of the hack, the GP referral software is down. There's one at St. Joseph's now as well I think.

    Fourth paragraph down it says it's 'funded by the NTA'

    So is it free to use if you have a vaccine appointment?

    I saw a bus last night called the 302SB as well so I assume that is the 302 extended to the Radisson

    I haven't taken it but if the reports are to be believe then it's not an extension, it's a special service. It departs the bus station and goes to the Radisson with stops at Henry street (dunnes) JFK, Jetland and coonagh roundabout

    Seems the Radisson is staying open as a vaccination centre along with the racecourse, should belt through it now.
    Very busy in the Radisson this evening.

    Probably more to do with the Raddison reopening and therefore having less capacity maybe?

    Anyone have any experience of rescheduling, and how long you will wait for a new appointment? Could it mean getting a different vaccine? Just got an appointment for Friday, Pfizer vaccine and the time doesn't really suit but trying to figure out a way to make it if rescheduling is a bad idea.

    Hi,

    I had to reschedule twice!!
    First appointment was Saturday, replied “New” … got next appointment for Sunday the next day… had to reschedule again as we were away for the weekend, 3rd appointment was for next day Monday, so incredibly efficient!

    Thanks Moby. We've plans for the weekend also, was hoping they'd be slightly less efficient for once!

    It opened today for age group 40-45 but those 40 can still register online today anyway(meant to have been Sunday), I did anyway. I expect those ages 41-45 will be ahead of me in appointments but at least you can register today for entire age cohort.
