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.

Its just a disagreement over which vaccine is better
All are good
But thankfully more and more we are using one of the best efficacy wise against the Indian which is pfizer 90% versus 60 for the AJ
Just 33% if you've only had your 1st shot of either

If you are in the 60% who gets no infection,you are intuitively in a 60% who also gets no severe infection
I'd rather be in a 90% who gets no infection and no severe infection
I know which one is better
I tried to explain that to you... in the main thread
Lets take it there,if you want to disagree

For the main vaccine thread but no it's not, tried to explain efficacy data to you previously.

66% is the ability of the vaccine to prevent any sort of infection that is symptomatic.

All the headline efficiency numbers are symptomatic disease

Croke Park seems particularly slow. I heard of a 1971-born only getting first jab there yesterday. I'm May 1973 (48) and haven't got a text yet.

Younger friends got their vaccine last weekend in the Aviva.

Croke Park is quite small, 10-12 booths I think, versus the 60 odd of the Helix. Aviva must be about the same size.

Dublin appears to be still hovering around 50-49 yo for the most part. Registered on the 23rd, no appointment yet for myself or the wife.

Some MVCs are doing specific vaccine days. I know the Helix have had some J&J days this week. AZ as second doses are also being done, know of a few of those today in the Aviva.

No, it's because they don't have the infrastructure in some places to match the population. The main Dublin MVCs can do 12-15K a day, not everyone in the country has access to that type of volume. Some of the 50+ in certain localities have been missed out but they are getting to them. Vaccine type matters too for example J&J is really for the 50+ group so if they don't have any, other groups may get ahead.

You could also say that there are people under 50 that received their shot last week and are already building up immunity now while the 50+ are walking around totally unprotected.
Seeing that the first shot of Pfizer provides about 50% protection this would be quite close to what you get with J&J.
The communication line was that people over 50 shouldn't be waiting while younger age groups receive their jab. I can't remember this line ever been recalled.
I'm beyond frustrated at this stage, I have the luxury to be able to get vaccinated in my native (other EU) country and even though this wasn't my first choice, yesterday I had enough. I logged on to the website choose(!) my vaccine and made an appointment for next week.
My DS is working in Italy over the summer where J&J is being offered to everyone on voluntary bases and he got it. It's a big hit with young males there.

More likely a crappy system/incompetence and not some big conspiracy.

TBF the poster seems to be in Group 7, judging from a post on another thread, and seems to be expressing the frustration of some in that group who are still unvaccinated.

Its 2 weeks with jaansen not one
No stats on jaansen that I've seen, with the soon to be dominant Indian variant but its weaker than astra on the Lesser British variant which is only 60% after a 2nd shot on the Indian
So theres no way I'd feel fully vaccinated after 1 shot of jaansen now,far from it
More like short changed..

It's still one shot and done. Plenty of people queueing up for it this week.

In delusion in my opinion because they'are not done if it doesn't work!
But I'll shut up here as this is for the main thread

The reason why some older people are being ignored like this is because of appearance. It gives the HSE the appearance that they are moving down through the ages quickly. So while 40-44 year olds can register this week, some of them will be done this weekend to make it look that they have started on the age group and they could say they have while some older people are still waiting.

My younger sister (46) just got her appt for Pfizer in Aviva on Friday.

Our cousin, who was born on the same day as my sister, also got her appt for Pfizer in Aviva, on the same day and at the same time as my sister

I think that's great

I think you're giving the HSE far too much credit. They are neither creative or organized enough to do this, it's just a symptom of a large rollout that's always slightly out of control.

The 50+ age group that are being called or have yet to be called seem to be getting the Janssen, which means that while vaccination may be delayed, being fully vaccinated within a week is the same, if not faster as having to wait for the second Pfizer, Moderna, AZ.

I'm 50 & registered 3 weeks ago. I've called 3 times but still don't have an appointment. I should be getting the vaccine in the Aviva & I'm reading every day of younger people getting it there. I don't know who wrote the portal system but it's clearly not sorting by age. I'm beyond fed up at this stage.

The system says 3 weeks and it really depends where you are. Some MVCs are flying through the ages. They seem to be doing a load of people from Meath and Louth this week who got left behind, some of them up to 5 weeks. Know of 58 and 59 year olds only getting done this week. Just need to be patient.

Side effect update...

Can anyone aged between 40 and 44 register now? Or is it just 44yr olds?

Anyone can. Even though it says 44, anyone can do it down to age 40

They say only 44 year olds should do it, seems that's just so the system won't crash. Sounds like anyone in the 40-44 range could register now though
