Could be mid august by the time all 30 years olds are done. Things slowing down because the decision to drop Az, j&j and instead of hitting 450k a week.as planned will only be able to hit 200k or so a week. Meanwhile 1 of my friends aged 40-45 finally got called, other 9 of us still all waiting.

Having gotten my first dose it is only when you see a small part of the process that has to be managed that you get an understanding for the enormity of what they are doing.

I had my first shot in the Aviva, and now I need to travel abroad - I will be away when my 4 week slot comes up and I'll be away for a few weeks. I'm thinking of just rocking up to the centre late in the day before I go and seeing if there are any spares? It will be 3 weeks between doses which, according to the HSE, is considered a valid second dose. Has anyone done this successfully?

I called them yesterday, nothing they can do - bla bla bla, it is automated system, wait 3 weeks. All around me, younger and registered after me already got their first jab. Frustrating...

Anyone in my age bracket received the J&J shot? Any side effects? I believe it's only one shot which I'm happy about!
