Theres lots of reports on social media of people getting multiple appointments... or people unable to cancel who got booster as HCW or as walk in etcFurther up this thread Odyessey06 posted the plan 1.32m by the end of Dec , today the 7th we have 1m already done, the run rate would indicate they would do that 1.3 by next week or Christmas week.
If that many cancelled wouldn't the 1m be more like 800k .
Someone isn't recording properly
I'll have a look at the data from ECDC and see what has actually been administered to each cohort based on the figures they published in your post.Theres lots of reports on social media of people getting multiple appointments... or people unable to cancel who got booster as HCW or as walk in etc
People phoned up trying to cancel then cut off by system after on hold for 40 mins as noted earlier.
Its hard to say therefore how many missed appointments are people refusing booster v scheduling and recording issues. Michael Martin seems to be presenting it as refusals but on what basis?

This has to be admin and MM not understanding what the figures represent.
Michael martin is a nice man but he's no Leo Varadkar.You have the leader of the country saying people don't want the booster... and this happens.
He needs to get on top of this, for himself and the country.
There is something dysfunctional with the HSE system\operation when it comes to boosters, I think that's why they are kicking to touch with 'walk ins' and relying on GPs and pharmacies.I don't understand the walk in's when there must be enough people to fill appointment slots. Walk in's were fine towards the end of the campaign when the majority were done but it does seem to be leading to unacceptable delays at centres. People can already make appointments at GP's and Pharmacies if they wish. Open it up to the other age cohorts and give appointments to everyone if they are struggling to fill capacity.
I am not hearing any stories about people with two jobs being hesitant about the booster so something is not working. Of course, Leo coming out yesterday and talking about a fourth jab doesn't help either!
To me, they seem to be struggling with data about who needs the jab and who has had the jab. I know the fact that people who have covid since the second jab are not eligible for six months after diagnosis complicates things but they did such a good job with the first rollout, it is a shame that IT/Admin issues seems to causing them such problems this time.

How many of them are in HSE clinics versus hospital HCWs, GPs, pharmacies etc I wonder....Lads I've spent days trying to understand the data, and it's a mess, but I'll try again later after the latest update.
My wife got her notification yesterday 50+but she's getting hers in Pfizer again, shes been trying to contact them to tell them to cancel. No joy yet. And they offered her Moderna.
They need to stop these walk ins, but they are administering over 190,000 a week and I wonder how the figures would be if they did?
They don't break that down, its total figures by week, which is now updated twice weekly.How many of them are in HSE clinics versus hospital HCWs, GPs, pharmacies etc I wonder....
Neither do I.I don't understand the walk in's when there must be enough people to fill appointment slots.
