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

I’d say with the very quick rollout down to the 18 year olds that not many in that age group aren’t getting it (in comparison to the over 40s). I don’t believe we’ve gotten any extra doses (this could explain it if we did), so would be interesting to see the registration numbers for the 18-35 groups ( I notice Reid isn’t giving the numbers registered in the group like others as well…) Every other country saw a significant drop in numbers in these groups, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same here.

Age: 36

Vaccine: Pfizer

First dose: 11th July (greystones).

Second dose: 30th July (Aviva). Appointment text received today.

So only a 19 day gap... seems very short compared to most? My partner is the same though with a 19 day gap.

DCC received by email, this morning 25th July, at 7am. 1 day after 2nd Jab

Holiday booked @ 7.15am

¡Viva España! 

Exact same details as me (age 40) and also received Digital Cert this morning (24hrs later). Just in time for travel

Has anyone turned up early for their appointment and been allowed to proceed or were you made wait until your official time?

Just checked and I got the cert around 06.40, had my 2nd dose yesterday too. It went into promotions in Gmail for me in case that helps anyone.

Hope punchestown pulls it in to 20 days I'd be fully dosed this week and fully vaccinated mid week next week.

Yes, appointment was for 18:05 yesterday in Swords, arrived at around 16:20 (as I was in the area), and they registered me & vaccinated me with no issues.

the Swords show centre seems less busier than the Helix…

vaccine passport landed in my inbox about an hour ago.

Pfizer in Citywest

Registered: 20th June

Dose 1: 12th July

Dose 2: 30th July - no text but on portal now.

So only 18 days between scheduled doses.

I had to reschedule surgery that clashed with the first dose and will have that tomorrow, so not sure now if I'll be able to attend this vaccine appointment or look for a new one.

I was there on Saturday for my second one and I was queuing for an hour to get the jab.

Yeah my 2nd is only 23 days after 1st.

Apologies, it'll actually be 18 days from the first!

First one was on the 12th, 2nd one booked for the 30th!

Original first one was for the 30th June so looks like they have mixed it up

What would you folks do? Go ahead and get it done on day 18? Or rearrange to push it out to the month?

Had my first jab on the 13th of July - Pfizer. Waiting on second jab. Citywest.

However my local pharmacy just texted me with a J&J appointment for this Friday the 30th.

I assume I should cancel that and wait for the second Pfizer? Would be nice to get the J&J this week all the same....

This happen to anyone else?

You didn't by any chance rearrange your original appointment did you?

I was just wondering if i go to it and they see that it's only 18 days that they'd say they made an error with it and ask me to come back again in 2 weeks time!! I think the minimum is meant to be 21 days!

Cancel it. Pharmacist won't give you the J&J if they know you've had the Pfizer one for starters. Mixed dosing is not yet approved and if it is, it won't be approved like that either

Got a text confirming my J&J appointment from a pharmacy, however it says "over 50s" in the text despite me applying for the 18-34 and being 21, I emailed and called but no response yet, anyone else's text say that but they ended up being fine to get the shot anyway? Cheers guys

You're fine.

Most people I know getting J&J are around your age.

Keep the appointment, but ring just to confirm.

Appears the reschedule function is not working when you reply to the text appointment.l you can't make. I received a new text back after replying for another appointment time with same date/time as 1st.

Same thing happened to oh and a friend in last 3 days.

Called them(15 mins) and they said the message reply never reached them. Lady on phone had to cancel for me and said I will receive a new appointment.

I'm guessing other people in the same boat are not calling number and going down as no shows.

When I was getting my first dose in Citywest a woman was brought to the top of the queue (she was right in front of me, I was due to go into the centre itself next) and she and one of the volunteers were explaining to the other volunteer in that section that she could go despite her appointment being the next day. I can't remember what reason she gave, if any, she just said there was no way she could make it tomorrow. She and the volunteer mentioned a woman's name saying she had given the ok and she was allowed in. I assume the woman they named was a supervisor of some sort, might be worth a try.

I meant to say it wasn't very busy when I went for the first one, plus it was in the afternoon, so that may have had something to do with it too.

I'm same age, 1st on 4th July and 2nd on 29th like yourself. Yes, I was in and out in 30 mins on 4th July, a Sunday. I heard it's slow going in citywest these days at times. Hopefully not stuck there for hours.

How is people getting to the vaccine centres? I have an appointment Wednesday morning but it is going to be raining according to the weather, I am cycling as I don’t drive and I don’t want to get a taxi or public transport until I am fully vaccinated. I suppose I could play chicken with the weather 🤔
