Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date

JimmyVik

Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date.
So we can see exactly what ages they are vaccinating at any time.
Dont post if you've already been vaccinated.
Obviously I havent got an appointment to post, so am curious to find out what age they are actually doing at the moment.

I'm the same age as you (happy nearly 40th!). I sneakily registered when the 40 year old were to register. No appointment yet. Helix is my nearest centre.

I think the backlog in Louth has been sorted now. A lot of people were sent to Navan or the Helix.

Generally, when looking at why area x of the country is moving faster than area y, you also have to take into account the age profile of that region. If an area has more older people it will appear slower than somewhere with a younger population. That could mean that things will be the opposite when they get to the younger age groups. Places with a lot of younger people will seem slower while places where all the older people are done and dusted will fly through the younger cohort

The backlog in Louth is far from sorted- anyone I know my age in the area around the main vaccination centre (41/42) still waiting for a text. The ones I know who did get apps have been sent to Navan, punchestown etc in the past week- they all live a little further away but still in Louth. 30 something year olds in Louth getting texts today for centres outside Louth so they're obviously still under pressure to get through the 40-45 cohort and second AZ shot (both my parents also still waiting for that). Doubtful I'll be text tomorrow so I'll need to escalate Wednesday along with a lot of people I know who live beside/close the fairways

I had my 1st dose in Greystones Centre today. Very well organised - in and out in 40 minutes of which 30 was observation (longer observation for medical reasons). I could see dates of birth of other people vaccinated around the same time - most were Oct, Nov, Dec 1978

That was a computer glitch on a particular registration day.

Different vaccination centres must be significantly out of sync in terms of age groups.

My personal theory is that bringing forward the second AZ doses has overwhelmed some centres in terms of manpower to actually do the injections, so even though there is enough stock of Pfizer/Moderna to do first injections they are falling behind because of a lack of staff to make use of those doses. While other centres were more constrained by stocks rather than manpower so they had capacity to accommodate the aditional AZ second injections while still flying through the age groups for first injections.

I know- my younger brother has his app and I don't (he registered this weekend and I registered 19 days ago) :mad: He's mid Louth and nowhere near meath- 2/3 miles from the fairways and is being sent to Navan (I guess as the backlong is so long but surely they shouldn't be moving onto them when so many of us in our 40s still have no appointment). I know some north of Dundalk being sent to punchestown and Drogheda (they are 40 though). I tried calling today but they said to ring back Wednesday. Called my GP too but they aren't vaccinating anymore.

It's annoying alright as I've friends same age over West who got vaccinated 2 weeks ago. It proves that appointments are not based on how quick you apply anyway. While at supervalu next to fairways noticed that the vac centre is closed by 6pm anytime I've been there so you'd think vaccine supplies from areas ahead would be given to Louth to get us up to speed.

I hope to have had 2 vaccines by late August so I can travel abroad, at this rate I'm not so confident I will, Spain requires 2 weeks to pass after second vaccine to avoid covid test for entry.

Called gp also and I'm on list in case they have spare from vaccinating people with underlying conditions.

Has anyone had their 2nd appointment in a different vaccination center?

My first was in Mallow and my 2nd is in Killarney, I live near Fermoy so it is a bit of a spin down (97kms).

People can get sent to a different centre but that's a long way to go. There were issues a few weeks ago with people in Waterford being sent to Killarney and people in Dublin being sent to Waterford. It was an error.

It would be no harm to tweet them or ring the helpline.

He's only pulling your leg! You'll be eligible for the second dose from next Monday as far as I know.

It doesn't, I was joking. One day after your vaccine is one day. One week after is 7 days, etc.

View the day you get it as day 0 if it helps, but it doesn't really matter either way in the grand scheme of things.
