I think you are being over-sensitive. It sounded like a compliment to me. Not everything is meant ironically.

a clever or witty person.

I went online at 07.59 this morning and everything went smoothly. The only difficulty I had was that the names of the vaccination venues were all in Greek. I copied each one and used Google Translate to find Polis Hospital. The earliest date was Friday and I chose 11.00 - all confirmed. The only problem I have is that I HATE NEEDLES ...

No need to go on line or wait for a telephone that never answers, get a decent GP for the quickest results.

I thought the Gesy portal was excellent. Shows you when and where different types of vaccination are available and it's very quick and easy to use. Logged on at 8:00am, all done by 8:02 at my preferred location with my preferred vaccine.

We had our vaccinations, thanks due to our GP Dr Mala at the old electric board, great, then what actually went down was the Vaccination centre phoned me to say our appointment time for the vaccinations was put forward two hours, OK no problems with that but we arrived at the centre and it was heaving, we all sat out side waiting for our name to be called, two hours later they were, the lady doing the appointment book did apologise as there had been a mistake with bringing forward appointment times, p**s up in a brewery comes to mind.

All OK sore arm but otherwise fine next booster in May. We both had AstraZeneca Vaccine

I did not use the GESY portal but my next door neighbor did, our appointments were the same day, so the portal was no faster.

'Currently, the vaccination programme has worked its way down to people aged 67 and above as the health ministry announced that another 22,808 inoculation slots for this age group would go online from next Tuesday. Some 15,000 appointments were grabbed within just three hours of the first slots for the over 67s'.
