    We’ll get there eventually... but 2 years in one week is very slow! At that rate, they’ll reach 50 near the end of June!!

    50 year olds were getting first doses today in some vaccination centres. Look back over the thread and there's quite a few 50 year olds getting first doses over the next couple of days.

    My doctor rang me to go and get a vaccine today because they had so many cancellations today.
    Good for me, 45, but I wonder why so many cancellations..

    I guess it depends how quickly your local centre gets through the 59s, 58s, 57s etc.....

    people who live across the road from the Greystones centre are being sent to the Aviva. It's because the Arklow centre never opened, so all the south county hillbillies are being sent to Greystones.

    Got another text - dilemma solved!

    Please note that your appointment in Croke Park Vaccination Centre for Saturday, May 22 is CANCELLED.
    We are running a Janssen & Janssen clinic and people under 50 are not eligible for this vaccine.
    We will be in contact next week with a new appointment.
    We apologise for any inconvenience.


    Excellent news!

    All but confirmation that Jansson isn't for under 50s. For now

    That leaves Pfizer or Moderna for the under 50s

    J&J and AZ was never going to be forced on under 50s. It's only the brave souls that chose to accept it.


    Looks like the J&J might only last a week or two https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2021/0520/1222754-covid-19-ireland/

    What is quite stupid because it is much easier to get to the city centre from the South by public transport then to get to Greystones. And not everyone has a car or wants to drive after vaccination....

    True, but NIAC were still going to say it was ok for under 50s to take it

    And then there was going to be the convolution of how someone under 50 who turns them down then gets back into the system for Pfizer or Moderna

    It looks like the under 50s now won't have to do that thankfully

    I agree, I had to text back new twice to the vaccine due to work committments and the distance I had to travel to the centre (over 40 miles). Another problem was the short notice less than 12 hrs to apppointment. I rang my GP and got an appointment for Pfizer for next Friday. Now it is over two weeks since I heard from the vaccine portal number, looking online I am still awaiting first appointment. if i get an earlier appointment at the centre I will take it but for now I am over the moon at getting the call for next Friday. I am 56!

    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.

    I brought my prescription.

    To be fair to my doctor he had called me 3 weeks ago to get my details, but I just do not fancy walking around with Type 2 in this current environment any longer.

    Reading on the vaccine appointment thread and there have been a few no shows earlier in the week but today the turnout was so bad the the centres contacted local GPS. The GPS rang as many patients from all age groups and told them to get to the vaccine centre immediately if they wanted a vaccine today. It seems the rain put off people attending their appointments
