One of my completely unproven theories is closeness to centre! Is he closer than both of you?

People are supposed to do lots of things but they don’t. Anyone born on 1981 or before has been able to register on the portal since the evening of the 1st June.

Go back and read the post I was replying to my good man.

We live in the same village, but he's maybe a km closer.

Interesting, I thought all us D15s were being sent to Citywest. I think the Helix is handier personally, so this is good to see.

I was wondering if they had split D15 into two as I was done in Citywest a week ago (50, Fri 28th, Citywest, Moderna) and others I know from up the road had gone to the Helix.

It appears now to be more sensible and they are splitting it as needs be. My missus (46) is due to the Helix on Sunday for a dose of Pfizer.

I know people were knocking our rollout but we are catching up on UK and hopefully our use of Pfeizer as the big lifter pays off, but I've family in UK only getting their first vaccine Saturday week (late 30's) so when it all shakes out we aren't that far behind. Also likely ahead based on second doses probably.
I love this thread its just great seeing the appointments rock in and the years drop (I know not as fast as some would like but we are getting there).
I've my second pfeizer next week with GP (cohort 7, early 40's).

Sister got text last night 43 Aviva this Saturday. Pfizer

Not in Kansas

The helpline was useless/borderline rude.

Said he'd deal with my query even though it states it can be up to 3 weeks till your text arrives.

Couldn't explain why my brother - 3 years younger - has a vaccination appointment for the same centre and I don't.

Said not to panic, that he could see my vaccination centre has been approved.

Yep...waste of time.

Are we really though? May be if HSE decides to vaccinate a bunch of 18 year olds and call it we are ahead now. Some parts of the country are doing 40-45 but many 45-50+ are still waiting for their first shot. , seems to be the route they are taking anyway.

45 here registered on 22nd. No sign of appointment but it's only been two weeks.

It's this messing that is infuriating. How hard can it be to just put everyone attending the same MVC into age order. The couple of people I know in the same boat as you and your wife (and me) are all really upset. To be waiting over two weeks and watch others who are younger get appointments within hours and ahead of you is just demoralising - and it's also just so damn needless. Overall the rollout is going really well but if you are one of the few who have been dealt this card it's hard to see the bigger picture.

I know some areas are behind, but some are on 43 year olds this weekend, whereas my family in UK 38 isnt getting a jab until weekend after next. I think we are quick to knock ourselves when we are doing well (bar the exceptions with some areas).

Rang helpline finally,

Person I got said everything looks fine and I should get notification soon.

Everyone who I work with has now been vaccinated bar me! Some younger.
They think I dont want to be vaccinated.

Well the latest it will be is 14th June but Id say ill have had it by then.
Surely call has escalated it somewhat.

Going to doctor Thurs "might" escalate a little more.

The number I rang I had to press option 1 7 times and dont even know how I got through.

Quick question please. Is the 2nd Pfizer vaccine always 4 weeks to the day after your first one in the same vaccination centre?

No - from what I've seen it will be around 4 weeks, plus or minus a few days.

Anyone know if there’s any difference between rescheduling an appointment on the portal versus replying NEW to the text?

Does anyone have any idea how the vaccines are being allocated in relation to the age groups? I registered 2 weeks ago today, I'm 47, but I've heard nothing and nothing on portal. I can see that others my age and younger are being given appointments.

I’d use the portal. You’ll have a better user interface and be able to see what’s going on.
