    Sorry you didn't get sorted and didn't get a heads up that you were queuing for nothing. I do think you need to see it from staff point of view and I can tell you are aware, don't take this as a knock. It's Saturday night. They've probably been full on for weeks at this. Very little variation in the job, very repetitive. After hundreds of thousands of people I'd say they don't have enough gra to consider 25 people after a day's work. I think that's fair enough. Also if they looked after you guys tonight, 25 people tell 100 people, it turns into a mess very quickly. I hope you get sorted soon.
    Yeah as I was driving home was thinking how messy it could get for the staff alrite, there was some people waiting who looked late teens or early 20s at best and a a few who looked late 40s so without some formal queuing system how can staff give out any spares without agro with people waiting ages. It was odd how empty the place was at 3.15pm, there was maybe 15 ppl queuing and at 6pm every aisle was jammed.

    Any 35-39 year olds who registered last week get a text yet? Hoping I get it in the next few days. Is it 4 days notice you get before the day of the jab?

    Age 38

    Helix, Wednesday for 1st vaccine Pzifer. Registered last Monday. Impressive turnaround.

    The recurring advice on here is to show up earlier and you will not be turned away.

    Not strictly true. I had my second dose at Simonstown Gael’s last Thursday week and showed up to find queues around the football pitch (over three hours in total). My wife who has some mobility issues had her appointment for Tuesday so I advised her to go early as they were obviously not checking times. She got there at about 8:30 but was turned around as her text was for 11am. Had to come back at the correct time but the queue was nothing like as bad as when I got mine done.

    I have an appt for 3.15pm in City West on Tuesday. Unfortunately my husbands uncle passed away today and the funeral is in Waterford on Tuesday. We have a young baby and I don't have anyone else to leave her with.
    Does anyone with any knowledge/experience think if I turned up first thing on Tuesday morning at City West and explained my situation, would they accommodate me and let me in early to get my jab so I can then get home to baby and let my husband go to the funeral...?
    I'd be inclined to try anyway. If they stop you, just explain that you have a funeral to go to at the time, and they'll probably let you through.
    Worst case scenario, you get turned away and have to schedule a new appt.

    I was surprised to see it up on Facebook as they advertised they were doing the j&j for the over 50,s and they then advertised for people to register for the Pfizer vaccine from this week.
    I probably would have waited and got done in pharmacy if I had of know. Definitely would have been a lot handier than the vaccine centres.

    Yeah I'm registered with my chemist but they've said it's only 50 plus at the moment, be so much easier to just pop around the corner!

    Only 300 pharmacies are getting Pfizer doses for over 35s. Mainly ones in rural areas and over 5km away from a MVC.

    Day 21 after registering now, no text and no appointment. Only 1 of 8 people I've talked to in my age cohort not to have been vaccinated yet and I haven't even got an appointment yet, what's the story now? Do I ring or leave it a while longer?

    What age and where are you based?

    I'm 40 and in North Kildare, 3 weeks today waiting and so are a few friends 40/41 - looks like it's all Citywest still with the delay in our age group.

    All friends in South Dublin aged 40 got texts mid-week for UCD.

    Appointment: tomorrow for Pfizer. Text came through Friday 3 weeks and 2 days after registering.
    Mvc- an hour away in Meath even though I’m in Louth close to the MVC. Every single 40 plus in Louth seems to be sent all over the place while the Fairways focuses on second dose for 60 plus. More than happy to travel though

    31 year old husband got a text from GP on Friday night to book vaccine appointment if he wanted to so he's getting Pfizer tomorrow. 2nd dose automatically booked for 4 weeks time.
    He wasn't expecting it at all and was hoping to register in a few weeks when the portal opened.

    Spoke to someone today, turned 40 two weeks ago, Dublin 6W, texted today for Pfizer tomorrow in the Aviva.

    So I'd say if you're a 1981 baby or earlier in South Dublin, they'll get to you sometime this week.

    I know someone born in 82 getting done in Croke Park this week so they are working their way through the list.
