    Keogh practice are going through their customer database on an age basis for medically vulnerable. That cohort is done through GP practice and isn't part of the wider age group ones been done through age category in mass vaccination centres

    Fair enough. Sending URL's in text messages is a good way to arouse suspicion though.

    I hear the town was jammed today was it? Been stuck at the desk all day so haven't seen a thing, barring a text on my phone that read "The boom is back!"

    Interestingly postman said to me today that since last monday his Amazon deliveries had gone right down, so guess everyone is out shopping again.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    They are genuine messages being sent out by the Keogh practice and nothing to do with the vaccination portal. These appointments are only for vulnerable patients of theirs

    And the Keogh Practice asked not to share the links

    Only shared images of them as those ones had expired. The message which was sent out this morning which I had deleted before that screenshot, that link is still active.

    I got those texts, but wouldn't class myself as vulnerable so didn't act on them. Are they sending them to who they think as vulnerable? Should I be reclassing myself as vulnerable?

    How come the Keogh practice are sending texts out to people less than 50 to get vaccinated?

    The government has said that this is not open to under 50s yet???

    So now it depends if you are with a certain GP if you get the vaccination before other people?

    How is that fair and basically goes against everything the gov have being saying in terms of people need to wait their turn based on age!

    Those texts are only for people who have underlying medical conditions, in the link there are around 7/8 different conditions and you must select one of those conditions to be eligible for a vaccine. I dunno what happens if you just pick one and chance your arm, but I’ve not tried it. Thankfully I’m fit and healthy so I’ll just wait my time.

    They do cross check in the background to see if you have one of the conditions on the list . I have one of them so I qualified . Got it this afternoon, very smooth process. Was there for 20 minutes

    I got one of the texts. Mostly it was serious conditions like being a cancer survivor but there was also a BMI of 35%. I would imagine a lot of people would squeeze in there. Pun intended.

    I think it would be bad Karma to select something. I got my WIT arena appointment literally hours before the text so I went with that.

    Beware! There are a lot of fraudulent text messages claiming to be from the Keogh Practice offering vaccinations to under 50’s going around. After getting two in the last couple of days. Delete them straight away!

    They are not fraudulent. My husband got one and rang them to see and it was from them

    Rowe Craven aren't cross checking anyway. 5 people I know of have now booked it successfully using a link forwarded by someone. Nothing wrong with any of them.

    I can well believe it, each to their own, but I’m certainly not clicking a condition I thankfully don’t have, there’s such a thing as “mocking is catching”

    its just bloody ignorance, the pace has really picked up over the last few weeks, most adults will be done soon. i think they should push on with first vaccines, i think its showing in the numbers now

    HSE IT systems down
    If you are a close contact or have symptoms, you can attend any COVID-19 test centre without an appointment.

    I had my second Pfizer vaccination yesterday and feel ok, a bit tired when I relax, my arm is only tender if I knock off it. My husband had his second Pfizer vaccination on Monday, had flu like symptoms, a headache and sore arm yesterday but he's fine today.
