The Mulk wrote: » Yeah, seems that way, doesn't seem to be any consistency with the location. I'm hoping for early next week, I'm away for the weekend, so hoping I don't get one within the next few days as I'll more than likely have to postpone it.

I was not well this Sunday, and got a COVID test done Monday and just received my negative result this morning. But are they going to ask tomorrow in the vaccine center, if I had any symptoms recently? Will this impact getting the vaccine? Even if I have the negative result today? Or will I just say nothing and get the jab when I can!!

The whole of Louth and Meath was short changed early on with vaccines. This has had a knock on into the surrounding areas. It will balance out soon. You'll have your vaccine soon and the speed won't bother you. I'd say there's 18 year olds reckoning they'll get there's in January.

When I had my first vaccine in CityWest, there was someone in the queue ahead of me in a wheelchair that was being pushed by a helper. Mind you, I didn’t see anyone with children while I was there. Did you try asking them about it when you called to reschedule?

M_Murphy57 wrote: » I agree. I dont know anyone in the 1978 to 1981 cohort in dublin who has received their appointment nearly 2 weeks in. Yet that fool Donnelly keeps spinning that 30+ can register "soon" - at this rate itll be another 2 months before an actual 30 year old gets an actual jab in their arm , but never let that stop them trying to give the impression they are further ahead than they are. I'd imagine the snails pace is related to this - 450k 2nd dose AZ to be prioritised for asap, to be factored into the 40-45s getting dose 1https://www.rte.ie/news/2021/0615/1228316-astrazeneca-ireland-vaccine-rollout/
FuzzyThinking wrote: » They can register soon. There's a 3 week window after registration during which they send an appointment. Nobody ever claimed that you'd get an appointment immediately upon registration and the 1978-1981 group is the largest of any age range. Registering on say Friday doesn't mean anything other than you'll get an appointment issued within 3 weeks and the appointment might be say 4 weeks from registration in longest case scenario.
M_Murphy57 wrote: » I understand how the process works regarding registration, thanks. In reality 30 year olds are about 2 months off getting actual jabs. Even if they registered today, theres 10 years worth to finish first. Announching how many people by age are ACTUALLY vaccinated is more meaningful (and truthful) then announcing (as donnelly has done twice in 2 days on twitter) who is "soon" allowed to put their name in a database to join a queue to get a text to wait to get a vaccine. My complaint is about govt spin, not a misunderstanding on how the process works. Also "soon" is meaningless. Why bother saying anything if you dont have firm information you can even give people? Because spin, that's why. Anyway , I'm dragging this thread off topic, I'm not saying anymore on it.
