There's a "shít is about to hit the fan" atmosphere with the Delta variant in recent days and remaining Cohort 7s and the remaining over 60s need to be sorted as a matter of urgency

This time there was no talk about waiting for my age group or registering through HSE website. All I can do now is waiting for text with appointment, hope not too long. I can't believe that I still had to push them to do that for me while they automatically should refer all patients that openly declared their interest and kept calling regularly about it since May.

When I replied there's no way to register through HSE website for high risk under 35 and that HSE officially states that only GP can refer me through internal referral portal, receptionist just said she will leave a note for my GP and I'll be called back about it. Exactly 27h later I'm still waiting for that call. If I hear nothing today, I'll bother them again tomorrow morning.

fun loving criminal wrote: » Fantastic morning here. Rang HSE and even though I'm registered by age and being high risk, I still have to wait. The timeframe from registration to vaccine is 3-4 weeks or so it says online. But it's actually 3-5 weeks. Being high risk doesn't matter, I still have to wait. Rang my doctor and they aren't doing vaccinations, I asked for a referral to a vaccination centre and nope, I have to apply for that myself!!!
