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

JimmyVik

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.

Hi All, quick question, I have an appointment for my 2nd vaccine in Citywest on Friday (Age 45). Can anyone let me know what the queues are like out there recently?

When I went for my first last month there was a 2 hour queue. Have things improved out there, can anyone answer who has been there in the last week or so, please?
Thank you!

90 min queue and 15 min wait when I was there yesterday after 5pm. My appointment time was 5:15pm, joined queue at 5:10pm, was out of the centre at 6:55pm.

Got the first one last week and I was about 25 minutes or so queuing and then the 15 minute wait.

I'm in the early 40s gang and tomorrow will be 28 days since first dose in Helix and have no second appointment yet or any scheduled on the portal, himself is the same boat, we're assuming we are impacted by the changing venue to Swords.

Interestingly, this morning we had a letter from the HSE for our teen for HPV vaccine 2 and its stating that the new vaccination centre for the HPV catchup is the Helix.

You will be contacted over the next 2 weeks by a text from Swiftqueue with an appointment date. Location of venue The Helix DCU.

So the shuttering of the venue as a covid vacc location isn't only linked to return to Uni students.

jeeze, that chap sounds like an absolute melt for the poor pharmacists

I know a couple of people working in pharmacies and they said the phones were off the hook from Friday morning onwards with a stream of people coming in looking for appointments. One girl I know working around the Athlone area told me she was getting calls from people in Dublin looking for appointments.

Also, that 18 year old on the news yesterday, if it's RTE news you were listening to, called one pharmacy over 40 times iirc and then canvassed every pharmacy in his area until he got his appointment. He didn't just rock up to a pharmacy and got seen straight away.

Second moderna done early this morning in Portlaoise it was exactly 4 weeks to the day from my first. In and out in 20 minutes.
Huge relief now to be done.

So much for our great vaccine rollout and “following the science” on those older getting vaccinated first.
It seems people in their 20s will be fully vaccinated before people in their 50s/60s.

People in their 60s got their first vaccine 3 months before people in their 20s and have been enjoying partial protection ever since.

People 70+ have been fully vaccinated for months.

The point is, an 18 year old can feasible get vaccinated while someone twice their age has to wait until the hse get their **** together.

A vaccine rollout like this is unprecedented and now they're in a race to get as many people vaccinated before it conceivably goes to poo because of rising instances of the Delta variant. The UK going full steam ahead with their plans to reopen fully on July 19th despite them having 27,000 plus, and rising, cases a day is most likely going to cause us a lot of problems.

I think the HSE have done a great job in the circumstances.

Anyone know what the story is with the 35-39 cohort in Citywest? I'm waiting 2 and a half weeks now and have heard nothing (I know that's not a long enough wait yet). I've been assigned Citywest even though I live in Westmeath and there's 4 vaccine hubs closer to me. All a bit mad!

Its up at about 39's still, seems they may have taken some time to work on second dose AZ there in higher age groups and thus stopped the 35-39 cohort.

I have gone to a pharmacy instead and am expecting an appointment next week.

Has anyone in 36 age group got an appointment in the Helix? There doesn’t seem to be anyone posting with that location - and it had been removed from https://www2.hse.ie/Apps/Services/VaccineClinics.aspx?county=Dublin. Are they in the process of moving to Swords?

A friend of mine has an appointment there on Thursday evening. August '84 DOB.

Any 18 year old just walking into a pharmacy will get turned away, hardly anywhere are even taking appointments due to lack of supply. Parallel rollout will help break transition and is not a bad thing, especially with all vulnerable vaccinated more or less by now

Some of them will for sure but with AZ rollout to be finished by 19th July which is a fortnight, there's going to be the vast majority of twentysomethings still waiting to be vaccinated then.

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!

Yep I'm 5km from Kinnegad and will be going to Citywest apparently. Still waiting for an appointment, registered 20th June.

For the people in Dublin aged 35-39 getting pfizer with a GP, was that arranged directly with the GP or is the HSE directing people who signed up on their website to GPs?
