The latest HSE stats (from https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/rollout/) show that 61% of population have received 1 dose and 31% are fully vaccinated with 3.45 million doses administered. A rough calculation shows that approx 1.15 million people need to receive a second dose in the next 4 weeks. Thats approx 287.5k slots of the probably 350k-400k per week available. When vaccination of the over 50s started, there was nowhere near that number of second vaccinations scheduled (as AZ wasn't on a 4 week schedule for second dose and over 70s were vaccinated through GP surgeries). How slow it is in different areas depends on the age profile of the cohort in the area and the age profile of the older cohort that are due their second dose.

Citywest aren't really behind they're just doing things on a different order, ie they're doing 2nd doses first and 40-43 later whereas other centres have done it the other way. Presumably due to supplies. By this day week Citywest may well be done with 43-38 while 38 & 39 year olds elsewhere are waiting because their local centres are doing 2nd doses. It's all swings and roundabouts.

Anyway, in the absence of anyone in the HSE trying to sort it out, I've gone and registered with a GP to get the first dose on Friday. It'll be interesting to see how long an appointment takes though the portal without escalation which I presume most people will be doing once they hit the 3 weeks post registration.
