Mine gets stuck when I try to press submit for the vaccine at stage 1.

Working in the industry, I can confirm this is correct. **** show trying to update forms etc. Painful

as a contrast my sister works in a large chain brand of pharmacies and has been saying for weeks that from her colleagues in work that opt in for j+j has been coming down the line and that this has just sped it up by about a month on their timelines.Least with this stress you can say your helping put the last nails in the coffin of this pandemic.

Looks like a few details to be worked out over the weekend for sure.

Have heard myself of places locally (Bray) just taking names for the moment and they'll be in touch in the next few days

Non-boots Pharmacies are also available.

Probably more likely to get an appointment in one as well, most people booking online will try boots first

Vicxas · 02-07-2021 10:19AM

Boots page is blank when i try and click into it

darem93 · 02-07-2021 10:20AM

Stupid question, but the Boots website is saying to make sure I'm over 50 but yet when I enter all my details it's still giving me available appointments.

Am I able to take one of these or are these only for the over 50s?

Of course there is, it has to be registered on a system, why do you think they take people's PPS number? Would be absolute chaos otherwise.

But every piece of this has been absolute chaos.

Is my positive Covid result from April tied to my PPS number? I seriously doubt it. I would have my doubts it's logged anywhere bar the text on my phone.

I fully expect to be offered a Johnson jab and have to correct them that they are wasting it on me.

Unfortunately some people who have already Covid wont bother.

Sounds you are on the Pfizer page or you selected the wrong age cohort. When I got into J&J, I had to select my age cohort which was "25-34"

Has anyone registered with boots today even though it still says over 50s? im 33

Boots in the Jervis Shopping seems to have several free slots for the end of July, booked myself one just in case.

I'm just after picking up a few things from my local pharmacy, asked if they were taking names for the vaccine, they were. The woman taking my details said they only found out this morning like the rest of us so yeah I'd say it will be a while before they get details on deliveries.

She also mentioned they already have a long list so I'd advise anyone interested to give their details to their pharmacy as early as they can.

No surprise that it's very popular, can see the portal opening on the 12th also being very popular. Great to see though

Vicxas · 02-07-2021 10:25AM

Hickeys wont let you book yet

Definitely great to see. Despite all the absolute sh"ite we've gone through the last few days, our vaccine roll-out is getting better and better.

We'll have the virus on its knees.

You're stressing about something you're just completely guessing about - there's enough to be worried about without adding extra conjecture.

I rang Hickeys in Cork City and they said they don't have any, but would be happy to sell me a hammer or a bucket of paint.. :pac: :pac:

So if you are between 18-34 and want to wait for a mRNA vaccine you have to wait to mid July to register on the portal?

Tipperary.

Tried Clonmel and they had about 5 slots Tuesday and 3 Wednesday. Got lucky as took 4 attempts as time I got form filled out, original booking time was gone.

Email and text confirmation received.

Now to get my passport renewed!

Pure luck to be honest and now boots booking portal seems to have crashed.

Yes.
And looking at the waiting lists for Jansen, it might end up faster at this rate!

sashafierce · 02-07-2021 10:35AM

Cant get onto boots.ie but meaghers and mccabes pharmacy have bookings opened

darem93 · 02-07-2021 10:39AM

I have an appointment for J&J in Boots in Cavan for next Saturday the 10th. Over the moon :pac:

Not stressing at all. Just fullt aware that our useless government will give thousands of Covid recovered people a one jab dose that should be used on others. Why wouldn't they? It's what they do

Well, it's a choice between getting yet another list together and asking you your age. Simple is always better.

I popped into 2 local pharmacies on my way home just to ask about demand - they said they have to turn off the phone because they are getting hounded.

Happy out with my Boots appointment in 2 weeks.

I've rang ten pharmacies and getting dial tones haha - cant find one to book. Also whoever says they are putting their names down with loads of pharmacies - stop that!

sashafierce · 02-07-2021 10:44AM

How are people booking with boots? I cant even get on the website...
