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.

Were you morning afternoon or evening for first jab. I was evening last time on 6th so trying to figure out will I get an appt for Friday later on today? As going away Saturday - typical timing!!

This 100%! Opening up vaccinations to the younger cohort seems to have been made for mostly political reasons, because they kicked up a stink about working in pubs but not being able to drink inside them.

Well the government were about to kowtow to NPHET and we were no longer in it together. People were about to be punished for not jumping the queue (anecdotally plenty have with GP's) and being younger than probably nearly every member of NPHET or government TD.

Now anyone can look for a vaccine and the government can kowtow to NPHET and say if you want to be vaccinated you can. We even gave the option of 1 shot.

I'm in the 35-39 bracket and am still waiting for an appointment. Heard of people registering with a pharmacy yesterday for a vaccine Thursday.

While it's great to see the delivery ramping up, it appears that those in the 35-39 cohort in Dublin have some fairly genuine cause for frustration.

It appears as though those living in rural locations and other urban centres have had greater access to the vaccine than those living in Dublin, mainly via the pharmacies but also in MVCs going by posts here.

I have a theory that there are a lot of people living in Dublin who are still registered to vote in their home places around the country, and perhaps the population of those locations has been overestimated as a consequence.

Agreed many i work with cant come back to the office until full vaccinated but their kids will now be done before them. Opening pharmacies to such a wide range of ages was madness

Right now I am the only unvaccinated person in my organisation. I am far from the youngest at 39. I am in Cohort 7. I am the only person our Occupational Health service made work from home. They are actually struggling to believe I am not vaccinated - I feel they're actually doubting me at this stage!

The population of Dublin is simply more vast than rural locations, so naturally when it comes to age groups it will take longer.

I don't think that's acceptable though. The allocation of vaccination resources should be proportional to population. Dublin Area should have more and bigger vaccine centres, with more staff, more capacity etc. It does to an extent, but seemingly not enough. So it shouldn't take longer because it should have the same resources by proportion.

Citywest appears to be covering a completely disproportionate population, even given it is a big centre. A friend from Kinnegad texted me today to say she has her appointment there!

It seems a bit mad that an 18 year old can walk into a pharmacy today and get a jab, but people aged 35+ who registered weeks ago haven't even got a confirmed 1st appointment.

i don't think there's any surplus supply in chemists... if there was pfizer my wife would be interested around north dublin - waiting second jab

It uses the eircode when registering, your electoral registered address doesn't come into how to allocate vaccines to MVCs.

That much is true, but when they were planning where to open the MVCs, what capacity is required, etc, they presumably would have had to use the register. So the population of Dublin and surrounding suburbs may well have been underestimated.

There clearly is an issue with capacity in Dublin.

Agree in general, but you do put in your Eircode which presumably is used to detect where people are living?

Would make sense and I would be one of those people. Seems everyone I know back home got it really quick. Walked past the Aviva yesterday and nothing happening at all there

How long since you registered? If over 21 days,although reports saying 26, then call the HSE.
If its less than this time as much as I and most understand your frustration you will be getting the vaccine very soon. The system ain't perfect but it's motoring very fast at the moment. Every jab in someone arm helps you as well.

Im well aware the system isn't perfect but its not performing in anyway close to how we've been led to believe, so i think im perfectly justified in venting my frustrations. If i could be confident it was running in a fair and equitable way as it was claimed to be id have no issues but it is very obviously not, especially in Dublin.

It's not geography if it's happening in the same area, we have been told we will be vaccinated by age but I know people 40 and 41 near me who haven't been vaccinated and I know ppl that are 35 and 36 who have.

There's stories in this very thread of a husband and wife both 38 one vaccinated the other isn't, explain how that's geography at work?
