Registered on Saturday, got a text today to advise me of appointment this week (9th of June).

Too soon for me as I'm away from Tralee for this week.

Replied 'new' to text and my Wednesday appointment is now cancelled.

Hoping I won't be put to the back of the queue now....

I couldn't go on Sunday and I received a new appointment this morning by text for tomorrow, but I can't make it tomorrow either! I don't know how many times you are allowed reschedule!?

Definitely more than once anyway

SecretsOfEarth · 08-06-2021 6:08pm

Think you are allowed to reschedule twice, but I assume if you keep getting appointments that also don't suit, you could ring the HSE number for vaccines and explain the situation.

I got Saturday but couldn't go as I was away for the weekend and therefore rescheduled. The new date? Sunday!

Rescheduled again and got this morning so that's that done and dusted for now anyway. Very efficient operation up at the Kerry Sports Academy.

My 4 weeks are up this Thursday, got a text today for my 2nd jab this Thurs. Thats really efficient.

I rang this afternoon and she said there's no rules as to how many times you can reschedule. You may not get more texts, but you can ring and book again.

Oh that's good - got a Government information booklet in the post yesterday about vaccines, vaccination centres and other bits.

Would've thought that should have been sent out months ago, bit late when over half of the adult population have already experienced the vaccination process? :pac:

Possibly yeah, it was just funny that it gives a step-by-step of the mass vaccination process and other queries when there has been confusion around these things for weeks, especially the 'When am I considered fully vaccinated by the government?" thing.

I got one of these info booklets in the post about a month back so I think it could be more an An Post issue as opposed to a HSE one.

Got the 2nd jab today. Everything running like clockwork up at the IT. In & out in just over 20 mins. No effects yet, TG.

TV3 just announced there are 8 hospitals in the country without covid cases... KUH is not amongst them.

Igotadose · 12-06-2021 6:34pm

Any details on the Covid outbreak at the school in Dingle? Independent.ie has it behind the paywall, pretty rude articles about Covid outbreaks behind paywalls.

When can a 38 year old register for the vaccine? Am wondering did i miss a chance to do it?

No, you're fine. Last week they said that 35-39 year olds could register "next week" so perhaps from Monday/Tuesday - nothing specific on their website yet but just keep an eye/ear out.

You won't miss your chance after registration opens. It doesn't have to be done the day it opens up, you can do it anytime after it.

Sorry but you need to have another read of the article, it does not relate to the AZ covid-19 vaccine but to a drug they are developing for treatment of people exposed to covid-19. Apples and oranges.

A top official in the European Medicines Agency on Sunday suggested that it might be worth abandoning AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine for all age groups where alternatives are available.

However, a study from British health authorities showed yesterday that two doses of AstraZeneca/Oxford or rival Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines stopped the need for in-patient treatment in more than 90% of cases of the Delta variant.

Sorry I am not interested in getting into a discussion on the merits/pros/cons of any of the vaccines. I was just highlighting that article you linked to did not support the comment you put forward as it relates to a different drug and not the AZ covid-19 vaccine. Just because something is branded AstraZeneca does not mean it is the same thing.

Why did you go & spoil all the fun

I get my second dose of AZ on Tuesday.
Am I going to take it ?
Of course I am.

Kerry fortnightly cases have fallen since the last report - 47 up to Tuesday (incidence of 31.8):

https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/1408101580302323720

kn · 02-07-2021 10:16am

Simon Donnelly has announced that 18-34 year olds can get the one dose JandJ vaccine in pharmacies from Monday. Circa 200k available in July. These are going to fly out the door as it gives immediate access to vaccine passport and indoor boozing.

512 cases today, the delta variant is going to hit hard.
Saw a report of a Midlands pub responsible for 100+ cases

An Ciarraioch · 02-07-2021 5:58pm

First time LEA fortnightly data has been updated since the cyberattack:

Listowel: 9 (31.4 per 100,000, compare with 98.9'nationally)
Tralee: 5 (15.1)
Corca Dhuibhne: Less than 5 (N/A)
Castleisland: Less than 5 (N/A)
Killarney: 20 (67.6)
Kenmare: 13 (51.9)

Tralee had been the worst affected area in May, so a welcome turnaround!

Dr Gary Stack (Killarney GP & SOUTH Doc) and Jack Shanahan (Pharmacist Castleisland) on with Jerry O'Sullivan this morning on their experiences of the vaccination programme and how it's operating. Might be worth a listen back tonight for those interested. Dr Stack said that the absence of those LEA figures had been an issue in identifying what might be happening in local areas.

I wonder how comprehensive that list is - two Dingle pharmacies, Grogans and Walshes, have had notices on Raidio na Gaeltachta saying that they are administering the vaccines also.

Perhaps that was for the over 50s only initially but I'm pretty sure it's for all qualifying age groups now.

Both are listed, you just have to click "Load More" twice at the bottom of the page.

Bit frustrating seeing all these young wans and young fellas posting about getting the vaccine, and at 40, I'm still waiting to be called for mine

Registered like 3 weeks ago (I only just turned 40) and they gave me an appointment once, but of course, it was the single day in the last three weeks that I was not actually in Killarney, so I replied with "new".

I rang the HSE helpline and they said it's three weeks from the last refusal of a date.

Don't rely on the SMS. If you need to reschedule, log into your account at vaccine.hse.ie and keep checking there for your new appointment.

When I had to change my original appointment, I did so online and was rescheduled for 24 hours later.

An Ciarraioch · 06-07-2021 2:23pm

77 cases in the county for the fortnight up to the 4th, with the 5-day average now at 10 - only problem being we don't have UHK hospital and ICU stats.

It's been sitting at the "Waiting for first appointment" thing for weeks, I have been checking it daily.

An Ciarraioch · 15-07-2021 12:56pm

Since we were away, Tralee, Castleisland and Corca Dhuibhne all recorded case numbers below 5, and thus the incidence rate wasn't recorded, while Listowel registered 6 (20.9 per 100,000). South Kerry is like another county, with Kenmare on 19 (75.8) and Killarney on 49 (165.5)!

Anyone know anything about the EU Covid Passport app? I saw that it was supposed to be available, and I've even seen stock photos on the interweb of phones with the app on it. There seem to be a few country specific ones (excluding Ireland of course) in the iPhone app store, but they're the only ones I found🤓

You're getting an email with a cert, save the attachment to your phone...that's your actual passport...there won't be an app for Ireland by all accounts, no actual need

I got my email with a cert, and my wife got a cert in the post, so I suppose hers will have to be scanned. I like proper apps, it's annoying not having one for this 🤣
