In Ireland we don't have a coherent national medical data system. So how does someone who eg knows they are group 5 for vaccination, but also knows they aren't on the records of those giving the vaccines, make their presence known?
There are different ways of doing medical/official records. I think Ireland should look to Estonia and the Nordics for inspiration for how to do it well and securely. It's too late to build one for this pandemic, but still useful for the future

As soon as you introduce this kind of thing, 'you have to call 'your' consultant' (assumption of a consultant, access, a team taking the calls, a phone, time, organisation, the instruction reaching people that they must call) you're adding delay and exclusion into the system
The good news is that vaccine supply is really ramping up. In the absence of good databases, things might get informal and ad hoc to get those doses out.
