Myself and partner 1st shot today. Pfizer in the Helix.

Efficient and friendly.

When I entered the Helix there was 8 soldiers in camo gear coming down the stairs in the foyer which gave a nice World War Z feel to the moment.
You enter single file into the auditorium which is mostly black and dark wood and the clinical white polyfiber cubicles was visually quite striking. Otherworldly.

I didn't understand what the African doctor was saying too well except for the four times he tried to explain to his supervisor that he was on overtime from 4 to 8 and needed a certain chit signed. It's was funny looking at her eyes rolling each time he said it.

It was the first time in the last 15 months that I actually felt that, for this moment at least, maybe we were all in this together.

I hope the doc got his form signed. For everyone's sake.

Very descriptive!

What age are yous?

Would you have the same hesitation if it was the first shot?
Hiking FFS.

No - anything with my photo is maiden name including driving license. have payslips etc with married name.

I wasn't asked for my photoID at all, but I was asked what my PPS number was (I happen to know it without looking anything up). The text states to bring phone + photoID, nothing about PPS, be prepared just in case you are asked.

Typing new can give you a text with new appointment the very next day or up to 3 weeks later. It really depends on the centre you attend. Some centers haven't finished first dose of over 60s. Other centers are on the 40s age group

Tks - I know my pps no off so that’s grand - rang helpline very nice lady who said it should be grand but they might be sticky but surely I wouldn’t be the only one so they shouldn’t be sticky have a few bits with married name & address just no photo id. It should he grand.

No movement in four weeks, so rang 1850 241850 at lunchtime today and after press 1 press 2 procedure, eventually was talking to someone in India, it seemed. Advised him of the 28 days wait. He asked me some ID questions and told me to wait. Moments later he advised I was being moved up to a priority list. I asked him would that lead to a text in the near future but though polite, he wouldn't commit. So, call over, I wondered would I be doing the same thing in a few days. Yet at 6pm this evening a text came through advising to go to Fairways Hotel MVC, Dundalk this Thursday for 1.20pm. It will be an Astra Zeneca jab.
Delighted with the result but as per my previous posts, allocation of ages and times by HSE seems haphazard at best, with lots of glitches, particularly in the Louth area.

The priorities list in my own head would be vaccine top of the queue followed by pretty much everything else.. but that's only me!

But I guess if your not in a rush and a (up to )3 week wait makes no odds to you then just reply New

Some people have different priorities. A neighbour cancelled cos it clashed with her hair appointment. Each to their own.

I have a few days booked in a hotel in mid July . My second vaccine is due in and around then . Must say if it happened to be when we are away I will drive home to get my vaccine . It wouldn’t even enter my head not to take the appointment I am givin
Hair appointment ? Really ? Jaysus

Yeh . I just don’t get it though . This is a pandemic and priorities should be obvious ?

Fair enough if you have a family issue, hospital appointment or some work related deadline that can't be put off.

But otherwise, take the vaccine when it is offered. There are an awful lot of people still waiting to get their turn

Thanks Golfwidow. North Louth, just around the corner from the Fairways. I think if anyone's waiting, say over two weeks, they should make that call.

Two friends in Wicklow:

1. 48 years old, got text Sunday and vaccinated today with Pfizer at Greystones MVC
2. 47 years old, got text yesterday (Monday) and appointment for Greystones MVC on Wednesday (not sure of which vaccine).

No GP involvement in either and no underlying conditions.

So making good progress in Wicklow!

Actually, I've just received texts from two other 45 year old friends saying they have P u C appointments for Thursday. Looks like the entire 45-49 cohort will be done in Cork city anyway by the weekend so they need to get the 40-44 registrations open...

Edit - I keeping getting texts. Just about everyone I know in Cork born in 1975 is getting appointments for Thursday. Hopefully we 1976'ers will get texts tomorrow

48 in Cork southside here still waiting. Not bothered by it but strange ordering. Great to see it racing through the age groups in fairness.

Aged 45 since earlier this year, but cannot register!!

Is it only if you 45 since before January 1st, as all you enter is your birth year??

Is it really that complicated to:-

1) Leave us put our full birth date, so they can calculate correct age?
or
2) Clearly state its for people 45 from the end of last year only??
