    I'm in the 18-34 group - rang every pharmacy in my county on the participating HSE list. All but one told me to ring back in a week or two. The one waiting list I did get on said i'd probably be waiting 4-6 weeks.

    Guess i'll be heading on my holibobs without the vaccine. Thankfully the sensible countries i'm visiting accept antigen testing.

    Just register next Monday when the opt in portal opens for 18-34, might get one through that before a pharmacy

    With pharmacies, not through the portal.

    Ring your local pharmacies and ask if they're doing J&J and if you can put your name down.

    Pharmacies are doing first come first served AFAIK.

    This was what the pharmacy told my daughter, mid to late August. By then they may not have stock they said.
    By mid August the portal will be open for registering for Pfizer or Moderna.

    Yes, I'm sure they are.

    You can still be added to a waiting list. Some pharmacies haven't started taking names yet as they wanted to get an idea of supply first, so there's still a chance of getting it in the next week or two depending where you go.

    Missus (31) booked Boots Jervis on Friday morning for J&J on 20 July, Boots cancelled it around 4.30pm same day. She's registered with a few other places but doesn't expect to hear anything.

    How does the registration work? Does it guarantee a vaccine? Or will you be contacted again to confirm?

    If you get an appointment in the pharmacy then you're guaranteed one

    i looked on a few pharmacy websites this morning first thing just out of interest to see what they said and they all state the bookings are full.

    it seems that the few pharmacy spots for j and j will be taken by the younger bracket of the 18-34 cohort which obv goes against the whole age basis roll out but be nice to see some 18 year old get included at this stage

    Is registering an appointment? Reason asking is where people register with multiple pharmacies - it may cause subsequent issues with available slots being blocked off.

    Jesus we're fairly catching up and with all these J&J vaccines given out over the next few weeks we'll probably be racing ahead.

    Are the UK figures not: 64% fully vaccinated and 86% with a single jab?

    Aren't the UK at 50% of total population rather than adult? (33.6m out of 66.6m)

    I think your UK numbers are total population. Adult population is over 60% fully and 85% with one dose

    Uk GOV site says 86% of over 18s have 1 dose and 63.8% have 2 doses.

    Percentages gloss over magnitudes

    Ireland
    Total: 4,369,136
    1st: 2,510,189
    2nd: 1,786,900
    single: 72,047

    UK
    Total: 78,889,449
    1st: 45,274,497
    2nd: 33,614,952
    single: N/A

    UK have given out over 14 times the amount of vaccines Ireland have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,206 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Yeah I think the UK figures of 75%/50% are for entire population, not just adult population.

    Yes they do and for good reason. Magnitude is meaningless as a like for like comparison.

    Interesting all the same.

    Pharmacies and GPs can do what they like, they're independent businesses.

    The age based approach doesn't make as much sense when under 40s aren't vunerable to COVID.

    not meaningless if you're hiding behind them...

    Government will be posturing "we are on par with the UK", when they had a much smaller task on hand, and still made a mess of it...

    I think someone linked to them above. Took the % figures from the Irish Times and Sky UK this morning

    ...

    Well of course they have - they have a population of over 60 million.
