Jab is done. Pfizer, 34 no risk health. Second dose in exactly 4 weeks. It's mental what my GP has transformed into. They are vaccinating I would reckon almost 100 an hour there

This is the message you get at the end:

"Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive a text message with details on which vaccine you will get and where you will be vaccinated. You should get this message within 3 weeks of registering."

Is 3 weeks right??

Mine was 3 to 7 days - received about 4 days after registration.

Thanks. I'm 50 so I was wondering where Punchestown were.

A friend of mine was saying it was all AZ up there and wouldn't sign up.

You should tell your friend it isn't that consistent. I was Pfizer in the Aviva. A friend was AZ in the same place 2 days later.

It's pissing me off that I have not received an appointment. I don't care when it is but I would really like to have some acknowledgement from the system that my registration is being processed - especially when others are getting appointments around me.
Next we'll see the updates from the 45-49's that start registering today

Just got my text this minute while reading this thread.
Janssen tomorrow, 21st in Greystones

Nice, but how? Is it at GPs discretion who they lob them out to now?

Did you sign up directly with your GP or via HSE online ?

clunked

So if the preference is for Pfizer, getting to your GP seems to be the way to go.

At €60 per patient it's a windfall for GP's, much more profitable than seeing patients.

GP texted me last week, didnt register on HSE portal. I rang the GP shortly after and got my wife in for a jab too. So honestly its worth ringing your local GP.

It's free?

At least, I didn't pay anything for mine this morning.

Your GP is running an unethical business imo. Jabbing all patients regardless of health conditions and ages is not the way the rollout is to be done.

Not going to repeat what was discussed on the vaccine thread last night. Real world data is better than trial data

If that’s the case why don’t the WHO & HSE update their websites or make clearer as regards efficacy as they currently say there is an efficacy difference of 10%, Janssen 85.4% for severe disease & hospitalisation & Pfizer 95% against symptomatic SARS - CoV - 2 infection

The efficacy descriptions are different probably because the vaccines are different tech & work differently? But what most people see are the official percentage figures & that is what is causing some people to question whether Janssen is the one for them

is that just a co-incidence? Or are some portal registrations being fulfilled by GP's? I thought it was all MVCs.

Minimal queue in Shoreline Greystones this morning. In and out in 22 mins, including the 15 minute observation period. Big change from the 1 to 2 hr queue couple days ago. Horrible day for queueing outdoors.

I was informed, that all their registered at risk patients had first jabs done, and some outright refused the jab. Some in for 2nd jabs, was talking to a few in the queue. HSE allocated the clinic more Pfizer jabs than they have for those groups... I dont think they are doing anything wrong.

Some vaccines are 90% plus overall effacy others are less

This is a useful explanation for comparing efficacy numbers (and why you really can't!)

I think the portal registration needs to be cancelled
Gp vaccinations are for cohort 4 and 7
The regging on the portal is an adfitional queue for someone on a gp list
