Any 42+ years olds in Dublin NOT receive an appointment yet?

Just checked the Portal and I see that my second Pfizer appointment has just been set up. No text yet, but will update the post if that arrives. ( It was exactly this day 28 days ago that I got notified of my first Pfizer appointment).

Appointment is again at Aviva Stadium, Monday 28th June, PM. First dose was Sunday 30th May, AM, so that is 29 days between doses. Age 47, South Dublin.

** Text came 1 hour after seeing the appointment in the portal**

I got a text earlier for the appointment of my second dose. It is late in the evening at the one time in the day that I have something to do.

I called the HSE and was told they can’t change the time. And that cancelling could mean as much as another three weeks to get a new appointment.

So is there a way to change the time? And would cancelling it really cause such a delay in getting a new appointment? And would would such a delay nullify the first dose?

I will keep the appointment if it can’t be rescheduled. Just very annoying that with all the days where there nothing happening the pick thr one day and time I had to be somewhere else.

In Cork, City Hall and PUC each have capacity of 3k per day. The other four centres are smaller, so it's probably fair to estimate about 1k each. That's 10k per day for Cork overall.

In Dublin, The Helix and Citywest can do 5k per day each, Aviva 3k and Croker and UCD 1k each. That's 15k for Dublin overall.

So from my rough calculations here, Dublin has 2.5 times the population of Cork but only 1.5 times the vaccine capacity. Add in the previous issues with neighbouring counties Louth and Meath being underserved, and it's no wonder Dublin is so far behind. Seems to me this could have been planned out a lot better.
