    Does anyone know where around Dublin they are doing Pfizer tomorrow or Saturday? I have an appointment for Sunday for 2nd Pfizer jab but I have to go abroad (yes, essential travel!) on Saturday evening.

    I called into the Aviva this morning but they aren't doing Pfizer until Sunday, otherwise they would have one me today.

    So far it seems from reading here that it's the Helix or Fairyhouse - anyone know about UCD / Croke Park / Greystones? Are there Pfizer shots being done there tomorrow? I'd travel pretty much anywhere around Dublin to get it done before I have to leave!

    Your GP might be able to help.

    Really, mother in law is a pharmacist and she was only saying they didn't get the go ahead yet, mind you wasn't chatting today so may have changed since.

    Tullyallen pharmacy have a picture of them vaccinating a guy with Pfizer on their Facebook page.

    There’s photos on Facebook of pharmacies that have gotten their Pfizer supply during the week and have already started. There’s one person on this thread that got it today so they’re clearly doing it since mid-week and more power to them. The whole idea is to get vaccines in arms. Ridiculous that the HSE would have Pharmacies sitting on supplies and not using them. If they have the capacity to roll it out themselves then I don’t see why they should be waiting for go ahead from the big boss. Judging from the take-up (and most pharmacies I spoke to are sticking to the cohort currently being vaccinated) it’s a much needed service and may even help the MVCs sort out second doses without delaying those waiting for their first.

    Helix were doing 37 year olds today (including me!). Friends who are only a few months younger are still waiting for an appointment though.

    Citywest still seems way behind.

    Agree 100% with this. I’m 41 this month, registered on 6th June and got my text on Tuesday for my first Pfizer dose this Sunday 4th July. HSE helpline told me to be patient, it’s three weeks between registration and appointment. It’s 4 weeks for me so they’re definitely slower than elsewhere. Husband is also 40, registered same day as me and still hasn’t got an appointment.

    Can’t believe so many in their 30’s are getting appointments already. There must be a recent huge supply received so they’re rolling them out.

    How long is the second dose taking to get booked in? I'm at 29 days today since my first Pfizer dose..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭JacksonHeightsOwn


    How exactly are people registering to get a Pfizer vaccine in a chemist by the way?

    Born in 81, still no sign of an appointment in citywest.......

    She corrected me this morning, it was the J&J they could not give

    But seems Donnelly announced they could go ahead with that one.

    Chat to the local pharmacy seems to be a way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 768 ✭✭✭Uncle_moe


    37 South Dublin registered Tuesday 22nd June - no text, nothing on portal.
    Wife 36 registered same day - appointment via text for vaccine in UCD 6th June, Pfizer.

    Just registered interest with local pharmacy for JJ as it might be quicker.

    Facebook
    If you type Pfizer pharmacy 35 into it and click recent posts it'll give you an idea of pharmacies doing it. There's a few like mcdaids and total health that have a few locations. Also Boots probably opening there's to younger age cohort soon

    Hse have a list of those giving Jansen
    and only about half of this list is giving Pfizer, mainly rural and those more than 5km from a MVC
    https://www2.hse.ie/apps/services/pharmaciesservicelist.aspx

    I'd say they'll stop vaccinating with Pfizer now that they've been given the go ahead for Jansen for 18-34 from Monday

    I asked HSELive on twitter, and they said oh you will get your appointment within 3 weeks, DM details and we will look into it. When they realized it's been 4 weeks now since I registered, and no sign of appointment, they said I need to be patient as it is a major logistical challenge. They have not answered the my question on how big the delay is in Citywest and can I be assigned to a different center.

    Age: 61
    Appointment: Tues 6th July
    Location: Helix
    Vaccine: AstraZeneca
    Dose: Second dose, 8 weeks and 3 days after the first dose.

    Guys, does this mean Helix are going to do AZ that entire week?
    I'd be due for my 2nd Pfizer jab that week in the Helix, but no appointment yet.
    My wife got her 1sd dose 2 days before me in the Aviva and got her 2nd appointment 2 days ago for that/expected week.

    What can I expect? Reallocated to another MVC or a week delay for me?

    Most centres seem to doing roughly 3 day blocks of AZ

    I'm 27 and looking to get in to get Jannsen.. just rang local pharmacy in Dublin 7 and was told 'we're fully booked today', and he hung up.

    Wonder if it's just a show up at door in morning.. how do you book if you're under 30?

    No you need to book, just try calling a few other pharmacies until you find one you can register with. They're mostly taking names for now, and will call back with appointment times once they know how much stock they're getting.

    Tried ringing GP there and they aren't doing any more 1st doses so it seems that if i want a vaccine im at the whims of the incredibly arbitray HSE system


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,114 ✭✭✭PhilOssophy


    Check the portal - I didn't get a text but got an appointment.
