Yes check portal daily. Nothing. Just awaiting appointment.

Checked again there just to be sure. There can't be that many to do in Sligo can there?

I'm 50 & registered 3 weeks ago. I've called 3 times but still don't have an appointment. I should be getting the vaccine in the Aviva & I'm reading every day of younger people getting it there. I don't know who wrote the portal system but it's clearly not sorting by age. I'm beyond fed up at this stage.

So I'm guessing this is the case everywhere? Got my text this morning and no mention of having to do the online consent prior to the appointment in the instructions. Having waited for 2 weeks for the appointment (49), I have this niggling feeling that if I start doing anything online, I'll feck up the appointment.

Yeah, leave well alone then. As I said you have to redo the consent questions verbally on the day (actually twice for me, once at 'reception' and again with the needle person) so it's completely pointless to do it online anyway

Can anyone aged between 40 and 44 register now? Or is it just 44yr olds?

Thanks tea and coffee, been watching for weeks.
40, and just registered there now.
Just being able to do that much is a weight off.
One step closer to being vaccinated.

As a 1976er waiting for that text since I registered 2 weeks ago, my advice would be to assume it will be 3 weeks and anything better is a bonus. People a year older than me in my area got the text 10 days ago so I thought my text was imminent. 10 days later and I reckon now I'm still a few days away from the text, let alone the jab. I've been glued to the phone pointlessly now for 10 days because I got my hopes up. Don't make the same mistake as me and definitely don't try and work out the method behind the way they go through the cohort. It's beyond comprehending from afar. But I'll get there soon and you will too.

The reason why some older people are being ignored like this is because of appearance. It gives the HSE the appearance that they are moving down through the ages quickly. So while 40-44 year olds can register this week, some of them will be done this weekend to make it look that they have started on the age group and they could say they have while some older people are still waiting.

They say only 44 year olds should do it, seems that's just so the system won't crash. Sounds like anyone in the 40-44 range could register now though

Anyone can. Even though it says 44, anyone can do it down to age 40

The system says 3 weeks and it really depends where you are. Some MVCs are flying through the ages. They seem to be doing a load of people from Meath and Louth this week who got left behind, some of them up to 5 weeks. Know of 58 and 59 year olds only getting done this week. Just need to be patient.

No, it's because they don't have the infrastructure in some places to match the population. The main Dublin MVCs can do 12-15K a day, not everyone in the country has access to that type of volume. Some of the 50+ in certain localities have been missed out but they are getting to them. Vaccine type matters too for example J&J is really for the 50+ group so if they don't have any, other groups may get ahead.

airy fairy

The 50+ age group that are being called or have yet to be called seem to be getting the Janssen, which means that while vaccination may be delayed, being fully vaccinated within a week is the same, if not faster as having to wait for the second Pfizer, Moderna, AZ.

Its 2 weeks with jaansen not one
No stats on jaansen that I've seen, with the soon to be dominant Indian variant but its weaker than astra on the Lesser British variant which is only 60% after a 2nd shot on the Indian
So theres no way I'd feel fully vaccinated after 1 shot of jaansen now,far from it
More like short changed..

It's still one shot and done. Plenty of people queueing up for it this week.

I think you're giving the HSE far too much credit. They are neither creative or organized enough to do this, it's just a symptom of a large rollout that's always slightly out of control.

My younger sister (46) just got her appt for Pfizer in Aviva on Friday.

Our cousin, who was born on the same day as my sister, also got her appt for Pfizer in Aviva, on the same day and at the same time as my sister

I think that's great
