    Thought they hadn't run trials on that age group yet? :D

    It's getting a bit daft, likelihood is if you are over 50 and and in group 7 you are more likely to get it quicker via age based rollout and the online registration system.

    Feel very sorry for the younger people in group 7 who have been very much left in the dark and have no registration process open to them, just told to wait for a call.

    According to the dashboard only 1400 done so far. Hasn't really increased. It's almost like GP's are classing them as group 4.

    My GP is not participating with the vaccine rollout past over 70's. Consultant in the clinic I attend, said they passed everyone's name forward for vaccines to the HSE. So I'm just wondering when the HSE will get around to it. Seems it's only the GP's doing them now, well from people's comments on here at least.

    Is there a lag on the data in regard to who has a vaccine as per charts above?

    Original plan was for cohort 4 to be hospital led, it wasn't working well so they asked GPs to take the lead, they agreed but it's led to groups 4 & 7 being conflated. If you look at the official numbers only about 0.3% of cohort 7 have been given a dose.

    So it seems the ones being done now are being recorded as cohort 4.

    42,000 done yesterday according to Reid


    That was 34,600 doses Wednesday last week.



    If confirmed, that means that at the end of Wednesday we have 4k more doses given than same day last week. Good effort despite the bank holiday and still on track to reach 220k

    Must be,I know I'm 7 as are 2 of my family members also done
    That said,the files are done on paper there,is there even a method to upload these at gp office level
    Could be a lot more done in the 7 cohort than showing

    I think it's luck of the draw - 1hr for me yesterday in Aviva lunchtime - when I arrived I was at the far end of the building in queue to register. by the time I had registered and moved around to the next queue, there was no one queueing to register. It took a friend who was there midafternoon yesterday 90 mins to get in and out.
    I was in and out in no time at the Aviva this morning at 9.00. No queues anywhere along the line.

    I suspect the backlogs later in the day could well be down to people arriving late and messing up the scheduling but I could be wrong.

    60-64s:
    21% have received a vaccine
    9% have an appointment

    This is kinda low is it not?

    They're looking at incorporating a new category into the Dashboard for the 1 shot J&J numbers to differentiate from the other 2 shot vaccines.

    What's the average wait between registration and getting an appointment? It looks around two weeks or so based on those stats.

    Is there a need?

    If you change the 2nd doses administered to people fully vaccinated you'll accomplish the same thing.

    Then when J&J are given out they'll be counted in both 1st dose and Fully vaccinated totals.

    My OH finally managed to get through her GP after two weeks of trying. Cohort 4, told to watch the "media" to register for the vaccine, that they have her on a list but she has to wait for a portal to open. Madness as my GP has vaccinated through Cohort 4 and almost all of 7.

    Anyone else been told this?

    And the rest in the queue awaiting an appointment? It's still a weird to quote.

    I think some Cohort 7 people in their 50s have been told they may as just wait for the portal to open for their age group...
    I haven't heard of it as a general solution specifically for cohort 4 and 7 where the GP isn't participating in the vaccination program for those cohorts.

    Yeah she is 30 so a while away from that, not sure what to do next but leave it with the GP and hope for the best

    9% in the queue? Not terribly informative. Roll it into the vaccinated number and you get another 10% done or about to be done. That's what people are interested in.

    Damien McCallion, the HSE's National Lead for the Vaccination Programme, said they usually only find out seven to 10 days ahead in terms of "absolute confirmation of volume" and date of delivery..

    That might explain some of this "in the dark" claim from various quarters.

    It's not 9% in the queue. It's 9% that have an appointment. There are many more registered that have yet to get an appointment. This shows the progress across different age groups from unable to register -> registered -> got an appointment -> got first dose. So it is useful information I think.

    For example I know a 68 year old in the family yet to get an appointment. That information shows that she is far from alone and there are still tens of thousands of people in the 65-69 age bracket awaiting an appointment. So no need for her to be concerned.

    For me it was registered on 23rd April, text received on 4th May and vaccination today 6th May, so just under 2 weeks from start to finish.

    On a separate note, if you think you should vaccinated for any reason, get in touch with your GP.

    Friend was talking to his family GP on behalf of his mother with COPD, and the 2 of them ended up getting jabbed that afternoon as he has high blood pressure. He wasn't even asking for himself.

    Said it to my partner, who also has high blood pressure. She got in touch with her GP and is getting jabbed this afternoon.

    Excellent advice !!
