And people pretending that no-one under fifty has any medical conditions is infuriating. Not all GPs are doing cohort 4/7, and referall to the hubs has been made harder than it needs to be.

A 42 year old on Saturday and a 41 year old who got an appointment for Waterford. It really does seem to be going very frustratingly slowly due to the move. Before last week Limerick was absolutely flying along, maybe just a little slower than Cork and the Aviva in Dublin. But very, very few people in my age group (42) seem to be getting appointments at all this week.

Also the further down the list we go the more time will be taken up wit second doses. The 50/60 age groups are all due back in around now for dose 2. Nenagh is one thing but Waterford or Dublin if true is a bit s**t for people
iguana wrote: » People in their late 30s to early 40s make up Ireland's population boom. So we will definitely be a lot slower because of that. But Limerick has really fallen behind in vaccinating. And it's happening at a time when we have the highest regional Covid cases. There should be being a massive push right now to speed things up here. Not allow things to have slowed as it really does seem to have because of the nearly 3 day closure. Obviously it couldn't have been predicted that we would have had a huge upswing in Covid cases locally at the same time as the site move. That is particularly bad luck. But issues around a potential site move were predicted when it was announced that our MVC would be in the Radisson. Of course a commercial property was likely to want to resume it's business as soon as it could. The contract for the Radisson to be the MVC should either have been for as long as it was necessary or it shouldn't have been given.

Now people are giving out about having to drive to Nenagh. The world is gone mad Ted ... mad What will everyone give out about once the pandemic is over I wonder

Cookiemunster wrote: » Limerick has not fallen behind in vaccinations. I've no idea where you're getting that from. The whole country, not just Limerick, is going slowly due to the lack of vaccines. We should now be doing around 400k a week nationally, but because of supply issues it's still only around 250k a week.
