Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date

Got a confirmed vaccine appointment - Post your age and appointment date.
So we can see exactly what ages they are vaccinating at any time.
Dont post if you've already been vaccinated.
Obviously I havent got an appointment to post, so am curious to find out what age they are actually doing at the moment.

First jab done in city west this morning, in and out in 20 mins, very efficient set up, fair few people there but never looked busy, their system to get things moving along is very good

I got my 1st Pfizer jab on the 6th of June and haven't received any texts yet for the 2nd one.

Can't hurt to make a call, but FWIW I called them when I got to day 28 and they said they couldn't do anything until I was 5 days past the due date. Got my text yesterday which was day 31.

I just called them too (28 days up tomorrow) and they said the same. I have to wait until Sunday and call them for escalation if I still don't have my 2nd appointment.
When I asked them about any known delays with Helix specifically, they just repeated the generic answer they told me before: "It's all down to availability and supply."

42 north-west. Just before my age group was to register I rang my GP. Got in within 2 days for Pfizer no.1. Exactly 4 weeks later (appointment given at first shot) got Pfizer no.2. That was last Friday.

wife got her 1st pfizer 7th of June so i think technically she would be due today second. Helix.. no text yet. Hoping for this week as heading outside of dublin for staycation saturday. im due my second pfizer around 17th july. Would there be any use in her phoning to say she away from saturday and could they get the appt out before then? Probably a fair chance it will come today/tomorrow anyway

Hi, I'm 31, living in North County Dublin, I registered to some pharmacies' waiting lists but have heard nothing from any of them. I rang some pharmacies and they said they still have no doses sent to them so they are waiting too. Anyone that got an appointment for J&J vaccination in a pharmacy in this area knows if there are still available slots? Is there any point trying to just walk in and ask or they only vaccinate on appointment? Thanks!

Seems pretty random so, just how it worked out with me anyway, 3 I know from Helix have hit or bypassed their 4 weeks, and out of 4 from Citywest, all exactly 4 weeks.

From other peoples posts on this thread, it doesn't seem unusual to be going slightly over on the Helix.

Anyone I know beyond their 4 weeks were all previous Helix customers, whereas Citywest is hitting them bang on.

Not arguing or anything, but I'm Citywest and getting dose 2 on Wednesday which will be day 34 for me. Friend of mine got jab 1 in Citywest on the same day as me and had his second dose last Wednesday (day 27). Seems completely random at times.

Speaking as someone (42) who had their first dose in CityWest on 29th June, your update their has sent my optimism into overdrive about when I'm likely to get my 2nd!

There was a notice up in the Helix saying that other centres were going to be used instead of the Helix. I know the National Show Centre in Swords is going to be one of them. I wonder is that what is causing the delays?

Is there an easy way of finding out which boots have the appointments without having to click into every single branch individually?

Not from what I could see. A few places in cork have spaces. I'm down that direction later in the month so chances my arm. Cork also seem to be flying it from what I read here. So maybe less demand for uptake.

Registered with a few pharmacies but nothing yet. Fingers crossed for J&J this week.

Had a boots appointment but was cancelled. Only has the Pfizer option on site now. Slim pickings for appointments but there are some. Hoping it doesn't get cancelled. Registered with another pharmacy on Friday so hopefully good news on that this week

I registered Friday 2th July after being told pharmacies were actually taking names down, so I tried with Boots and I actually got to make an appointment for the Pfizer one for the end of July and got cancelled (I am assuming cause they only approved J&J and Aztrazeneca and there was a mistake on the system) but I called a local pharmacy and got a call back on Saturday to set up the appointment.

For those of you looking into the pfizer in boots, there are early openings sometimes, not sure if it's due to these cancellations or identifying people outside the age bracket. Good luck all.

Did someone you know have five day delay for second dose at helix? Is that recent?

I had first dose 7th june (year 1975) and have heard nothing about second. It is four weeks today.

I'm in the same position (28 days up tomorrow, no 2nd appointment yet), Helix

Aglomerado

Due to get second Pfizer this week at the earliest (Wednesday onwards probably), so expecting a text any day. Would be going to Mallow ideally.

Creative new excuse each time I ring. Today for the first time I was told registering 'early' had caused problems with my case.

Pathetic.

I am now sorted but yes, I also had pretty poor experience with the call centre changing their story and making-up new escalation procedures each time. They need to stop making-up new rules/excuses and to start simply saying things as they are.

The only 2 answers for someone who has passed the advertised delay to receive an appointment should really be:
- "Your vaccination centre is behind schedule and the age group they are currently dealing with is XX years old, which is older than you are. Please be patient and you will be contacted when they reach your age group." (no point in discussing for ages and making-up excuses if the person's turn simply hasn't came yet, just be transparent about the delay and where they stand in the queue)
- "Your case has slipped through the net as your age group has already been covered by your vaccination centre but you haven't received an appointment, let me book one for you immediately." (resolve the issue immediately if the person is older than some people who are already receiving appointments at the same centre)

40 and registered on 6th June and still waiting as well. North Kildare so Citywest would be centre for me.

Called yesterday as it was 4 weeks and was just told it would be escalated. Would have just gone for Pharmacy but local one was sticking to the 18-34 and 50+

Husband managed to get talking to one local pharmacy. They are going to vaccinate us even though we are over 35 and under 50. Thank god for them. They gave us the choice of the j/j or the pfizer one.
Is there actually much of a difference bar one is 1 jab and the other is 2?

Greater level of efficacy in 2 doses but J&J works effectively against all variants. J&J advantage is one and done. Details here on vaccines.

How do they set the appointments I wonder as I was out Saturday and got chatting to a friend of mines girlfriend, she works in one of the MVC's and said if I forward on my number she'll put me at the top of the appointment queue.

I was a bit shocked that it could be done like that, I'm in no rush yet anyway so didn't bother but tempted to see does it work like that.

39 Got text Friday for appointment Tuesday 6/7 in UCD.

Just did the online consent - No problems

Then did the 2 Medical questions - (answered correctly/appropriately) and appointment was canceled!

Rang up the HSE and am told there is a glitch in the system, I'm back in the q but told not to do the Medical questions before hand online and wait till I'm at the appointment to do them on paper
