    44. Missed my appointment this morning.:(

    Registered last week and hadn't been monitoring my texts because I lazily assumed it would be at least a couple of weeks before I got word.

    How soon am I likely to be rescheduled?

    They only check if appointment is same day.

    Was talking to a friend there now. Same age as me - 45.

    Anyone experience this? She said when she logged into the Portal today that it showed her 1st dose scheduled and a blue box saying "Show Appointment details". When she clicked on this, the screen went blank/white and when she refreshed it, it went back to Awaiting Appointment. She rang the Helpline but they are saying that she rescheduled her Appointment and must wait for a new one.

    Good to hear. I'm supposed to be cycling Mizen to Malin a week after the shot so I'm hoping it'll be same as yourself and doesn't derail me in any major way. I can handle a sore arm.

    Do they advise you to take paracetamol before and iboprufen afterwards?

    I got Moderna 1st dose nearly two weeks ago.. Sore arm for a day or two afterwards.... No other issues. I wasn't given (or ask for) any advice on what to take or not take

    43, registered Thursday 3rd and got appointment for today on Friday. Husband is the same age, registered on Thursday, gave his name on the waiting list for vaccine and got vaccinated next day because they had some excess. Both in Tullamore.

    Growing consensus = one person? Assuming AZ can deliver enough this month a lot of that group can be done and there will be few if any new AZ recipients. Over 60s were pencilled in for July originally, when apparently AZ have said they'll have loads.

    No. If that happened to me (mind you I'd need an appointment first) at this stage I would scream. That is shocking luck. As a 45 year old your friend has been waiting long enough. As I've said, the system is working for 99% of people but for those of us experiencing HSE IT glitches we have no control over its a nightmare.

    I can't believe it either, but in a different way...

    All joking aside, congrats.

    Your saga is darkly comical at this stage. The forgotten man.

    I'm wondering is it something like your surname starting 'o fada' and it drops you to the bottom of the list every time the system does a re-sort?

    I just got my 1st Pfizer jab in the Helix.
    It was organized in a very professional way and everyone was very nice.
    Can't wait to see my 2nd appointment appear on the system :)

    Nah, no such explanation. I'm too close to it to laugh, but yeah it's hugely ironic that I've been on boards posting about vaccines for months, obsessively analysing patterns of progress of the vaccine, speculating to (often apathetic) friends about when we would we be vaccinated and then, when the moment came, I'm the 1 in 100 (or 1000?) that slips through the net. I suspect some of my friends think it's hilarious in the darkly comic way you suggest and I hope in time, after lots and lots of therapy, I'll see it that way too!

    I should say its only because I'm in Cork with its fast progress I stand out. Clearly loads of other 1976ers in the east and north east still to be done.

    What actually happened Rebelbrowser? Have you been registered for a while and haven't heard anything, is it?

    Yeah, 20 days and counting! I'm told HSE can manually intervene tomorrow and give me an appointment as 21 days will be up. 45 year old friends of mine got texts 15 days ago and I have confident texts to friends still on my phone from that day where I proudly announced we would all be vaccinated before May was out. May 2022 now the next target! That'll learn me to count my chickens.....

    Racecourse only. I've seen reports of 43 year olds with Friday appointments and 42 year olds on Saturday. I'm 42 but have no appointment yet.

    Haha, aw that's annoying now! I'm eager to hear when the 30's will be open for regsitration myself. Where did you see that you should receive an appt within 21 days? Does it come in the confirmation of registration email?

    Is it mandatory to take the phone with sim that is used for registering in vaccination portal, or is the screenshot of the appointment confirmation enough, to the vaccination centre?

    From this morning I'd say a screenshot would do you. Why would you not want to bring your phone with sim? It seems very odd...

    I had appointment in Greystones this morning. Was never asked for my phone, just my name, time of appointment, photo ID, and PPS number.

    Superbly efficient. Got out of the car at 12.10,was back in it 45 minutes later. Everyone I dealt with was so pleasant and cheery.

    Just forward the text to her phone. You don't need screenshot.

    I showed up with my daughter's passport instead of mine. I'm very organised obviously. I had to use my driving licence with my maiden surname and it was fine.

    44. Registered last Tuesday night, got text on Friday morning.

    From the brief bit of the list I could see at the door the birthdates all seemed to be late 1976 or early 1977.
