I don't think it's the HSE's fault directly. I was jabbed Sunday two weeks ago in the Aviva 30 minutes after entering the building at my appointment time. The following day a friend waited about two hours before receiving the jab. The problem appears to have been that lots of people that were scheduled to be jabbed over the bank holiday weekend turned up on Monday and subsequent days because they had gone away for the weekend.But then again you are dealing with the HSE....
Of course it is but that’s not the point.It's better than being dead lads?
What is the point then because I'm clearly either mitigating it or don't think it's a valid reason to be talking about it.Of course it is but that’s not the point.
It's basic organisational (in)comptence. People shouldn't be left queuing outside for 2 hours in the elements, full stop.What is the point then because I'm clearly either mitigating it or don't think it's a valid reason to be talking about it.
The vaccine is free of charge, we have administered 2m with a majority in the last 3 months despite the ongoing issues.
I genuinely fail to see why being in a queue for 2hrs or 1hour or 45mins is important or a cause of concern/agnst.
There are millions if not billions who would be grateful to be waiting 2 hrs.
Ah come on Odyssey we are hearing about Dublin and Dublin 4 in particular.It's basic organisational (in)comptence. People shouldn't be left queuing outside for 2 hours in the elements, full stop.
It's not teenagers queuing for a gig or a once off event.
When they first opened, teething problems could be forgiven, it's gone on so long now either they are just inept or don't care.
That it is for an essential vaccine is neither here not there. It's needless.
There are billions who would be grateful to live in Ireland but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give out about the weather, the government, public transport etc.There are millions if not billions who would be grateful to be waiting 2 hrs.
Well I disagreeThere are billions who would be grateful to live in Ireland but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give out about the weather, the government, public transport etc.
Having people wait 2 and a half hours isn’t a good thing no matter how virtuous the reason.
Its not one or two people. It is being reported across social media from multiple dates by multiple people.Ah come on Odyssey we are hearing about Dublin and Dublin 4 in particular.
I know many even out here in Kildare wondering how quiet the centres " appear " to be" again just what I heard.
Of course one could say " isn't great that the population is actually getting vaccinated and the hesitancy that some were worried about isn't evident ". or a pragmatic appraisal of the situation.
One or two people's experiences certainly doesn't say the whole system is falling apart. And the weather isn't something that even the HSE can control or Met Eireann forecast accurately. Bringing and umbrella would solve the latter.
The "kids going to a gig " analogy has me bemused/befuddled to be honest.
In fairness you can't speak for all those hundreds unless you spoke to each of them.It was the experience of the couple of hundred of the people I shared a queue with on Friday and the hundreds who were in the queues of the people I know of who were vaccinated at the Aviva.
Overall the vaccination programme seems to be working very well but there seems to be a problem with the Aviva.
Post the "social media " of the complaining then.Its not one or two people. It is being reported across social media from multiple dates by multiple people.
I expect the ones posting are just tip of the iceberg.
There is something dysfunctional going on persistently at specific MVCs which should not be tolerated.
Precisely because they cant control the weather it should be factored onto the queuing system. First AZ vaccine places enough strain on the system without having people face it as a drowned rat.
I mentioned gigs because this is not a voluntary thing people can take or leave.
If you have stats showing aviva waiting times contradict the evidence of posters then please share. Otherwise their evidence stands.
Not sure what evidence would convince you then or why you are so quick to dismiss the reports.Post the "social media " of the complaining then.
Where would I get that data on waiting times? And as sure as ..... social media wouldn't be the place I'd look for it.
I can actually. They may not have cared but they were all definitely waiting at least two hours.In fairness you can't speak for all those hundreds unless you spoke to each of them.
I'm not shooting anything I'm simply questioning the importance of standing in a queue is more of a cause of angst when the reason is more important.Not sure what evidence would convince you then or why you are so quick to dismiss the reports.
We have no reason to doubt the bona fides of the people raising this.
Zero.
I have seen multiple similar issues raised on other social media channels I follow.
Where do you expect such reports to emerge???
You are shooting the messenger in the absence of any other message.
By your own admission you have no idea of the waiting times.
So why are you shooting down genuine reports?
Makes no sense.
And each of them told you verbatim what you are now saying online.......thats curious and highly implausible.I can actually. They may not have been cared but they were all definitely waiting at least two hours.
