    Hello All,

    Due my Vaccine tomorrow, but if anyone can help me with what the screening questions are?

    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!!


    They don't ask about recent covid tests. They ask if you've had covid within the past few months. 3 I think. As a poster on here was turned away.
    A negative test is not relevant

    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.

    Let's say the open the portal to 30-39 year olds by the end of the week and do the descending age method they've used already where a certain age can start registering on a certain day (People born in 1982 can register on Friday, people born in 1983 can register on Saturday, etc.), 30 year olds would be able to register by Sunday and have their vaccinations within 3 weeks all going well with them being fully vaccinated within the two months.

    Can't see where you're getting your two months before they even get a first jab logic.

    Does anyone happen to know for sure if any of the south Dublin MVCs (Citywest, UCD, Aviva) are doing Pfizer today?

    They tell you on your appointment text what vaccine you're going to get.

    Got my appointment last Friday for today in the Helix (Pfizer). The missus has been absolutely unflexible with her work schedule and so I've had to reschedule it as I can't leave our 4 year old with anyone. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement.

    Is there even an older cousin who could sit in the car with her. Then you could approach one of the volunteers and ask to be fast tracked.
    Also they don't seem to be too worried about the time so could you go early and your wife go into work late.
    Or a playschool pals mum. Most people would be happy to help for an hour or two. An older kid on the road who is finished secondary school?

    Just bear in mind that the current cohort is way larger than anything that will follow or preceded it and is also very present in the cities.

    The single largest year of birth is 1979 and the band of ages around that basically Ireland's baby boom generation and most populous group.

    When you start to get beyond the mid 80s the birth rate declined and you'll see things moving faster into the 20s as there are just fewer of them.

    Many continental countries' populations are more skewed towards the post war baby boom in the 1950s and early 60s. Ours is skewed more towards the beginning of the 1980s.

    Pfizer Covid Distribution Centre vaccine email offering a vaccine came to the work email Friday evening, Registered Sunday evening as the closing date was 10am Monday.

    First Pfizer jab next Wednesday (28 years old)

    Getting it as I am a contractor who is on site quite frequently but not there 5 days a week.

    Have both dates organised via online portal.

    Great relief

    I know a good few 41 /42 year olds got appointments for the Fairways in Dundalk this morning. The appointments are for Monday. Check the website if you are waiting for Louth as most didn't get texts.

    43 (born 1978)

    Registered on June 2nd
    Notified last Friday, 11th June.

    Appointment was today, June 16th in DCU, Helix

    Took ~1hr in total from moment I arrived to leaving. That included 15mins after vaccine.
    Very friendly, efficient operation.

    Does everyone in a particular centre get the same vaccine that day? Seemed to be a lot of older people when I was there. I'd imagine there could be confusion/extra logistics though if there were different vaccines being given out in same centre on the one day. Would make sense for all to be getting the one type.

    I'm due my *second* Pfizer jab. Friday will be 28 days. No text has arrived yet. I won't be able to make it on Friday, or for the following week as it happens, so will likely be a week overdue at minimum as a result. I will head along to one of the MVC centres to see if they were willing to jab me today if I knew that Pfizer was being given out. If they're not willing, that's obviously absolutely fine, but I see no harm in asking, especially if they have any extra doses at the end of the day as a result of no shows.

    I guess you should have heard by now if they were going to call you on Friday. I was told when I got 1st dose that I would be contacted in the week leading up to it sometime for dose 2.

    Now I'm finally first dose vaccinated, just thinking ahead to dose no.2. For anyone vaccinated after 1 June (everyone 45 and under pretty much), dose no.2 will fall after primary schools have closed. Its an age group that will have a lot of parents of young kids so they are all going to be holidaying (domestically) in an 8 week window starting end of June. Long story short, lots and lots of second doses clashing with holidays. I hope they have thought ahead to this. If you refuse one day, no point after you the next day, etc. I wonder will they allow you by then to get second doses by appointment in convenient pharmacies? Gonna be messy if not.

    Yes they do . A friend of mine was turned away because she had tetanus jab 9 days previous. They re scheduled her for 16 days after the tetanus jab

    This was 8 weeks ago when the portal opened and no question were asked until you were at the venue

    Yeah, Friday, AND saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday I will be unable to make it. Hence why I'd see if I could get in slightly early if it was a possibilty.

    Question stands... does anyone happen to know if citywest, Aviva or UCD are doing Pfizer today.

    They refer to them as clinics and how many clinics you get in a day can vary

    You could have one centre doing a moderna clinic on a monday and tuesday and then on wednesday they could do Pfizer in the Morning and AZ in the Afternoon/evening

    I've heard of one centre where they started on Pfizer in the morning and had switched to J&J by midday but there wasn't enough J&J to go around so they had to open a vial from their previous days Moderna clinic for the last 20 or so in the queue, so technically that was 3 clinics in one day

    But more often than not it's 1 a day and sometimes 2

    Wonder will people like you get added to the overall total of jabs provided in the country. Considering its all employees and immediate family(?) its likely to be a few thousand people.

    Is there a particular time of day for the texts or do they come out as-and-when the system gets to you? Also wondering if the online portal updates ahead of the text.

    Speaking as a 42 year old from Dublin, it's hilarious to see other 41/42/43 year olds from Dublin completely losing their s**t here about not getting an appointment yet. They're going as fast as the supplies are coming in, fair play to them. It's not their fault your ma and da were riding at the same time as about 100,000 other people.

    I don’t see any one completely losing their **** and it’s an entirely natural response to what to get the vaccine as soon as possible.
