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. Doesn't work out that simply. 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.

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?

Feels like we're the most unluckiest in the country right now being assigned (most probably) to Citywest. Why don't they just spread us out more evenly across centers, instead of putting all eggs in one basket. Also If you're going by age finish the whole cohert first instead of vaccinating next one.
