For those in 40s still waiting weeks it's difficult to understand this. If you go by age cohort then complete that group first. Wasn't that the point?

It's slightly frustrating but doesn't make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, we'll get our turn before long. Do you think the Helix should close for a day or two to let Citywest catch up? It sounds like that's what you're suggesting.[/quo Who said closing? I'm referring to allocating those waiting to another MVC as has been done for some. I haven't seen any info stating Dublin MVC are all strict unique separate entities. If you can vaccinate someone from Kildare at Citywest you can vaccinate west Dublin at Helix etc, especially as you say if one becomes a bottleneck. Grand scheme of course we will all get it but that wasn't the point.

Some folks don't have transport and also in places with one center (like Galway) where would you send them? Athlone? It's a really complex issue unfortunately.

Told that any spare vaccines are given out after the last shot at 19:05 so we waited around got food etc and went back to helix at 18:30. There was about 25 to 30 people waiting for spares and staff said that after last shot at 19:05 they'd come out and let people know if there was spare, the markee didn't clear till about 19:35 and a while later security just closed the main entrance doors. Bit by bit staff were going home including security and one of the registration staff we recognised, one of the guys also waiting went in through the exit at 20:15 and asked what was happening and all vacinators were gone home. Would have been good for some of security staff not to at least come out when the registration staff are gone home and say no hope guys Was I just unlucky today or is there some days when a bunch of people without app get vaccinated at end of day? It was kinda stupidity on my part not to leave then there was still a pretty full markee at 7pm as staff obviously had a hectic day and want to get home and I'm sure taking an extra 25 ppl in wud be cruel to them if they were delayed past planned working time. Wouldn't recommend waiting around to anyone as even if they had 10 spare for example there is no queue system for people waiting so no idea how they wud decide who got picked, was curious to see how that would work. Also not sure if true but heard that one of staff said all app from 3 to 7 today were people from louth.
