I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

[vegs1]

It was a banner day here today! I had developed a fever/chills on Tuesday after school (I teach kindergarten) and was off Wednesday and Thursday while I waited for a Covid test appointment. Well, today I was online registering at multiple pharmacies for my vaccine and I checked for my test results which were negative! Then this afternoon I got a text inviting me to book an appointment at a local pharmacy and I am going Monday for my first shot!! Yay!!

So happy for you that you got your vaccine appointment. I registered last week but haven’t heard a peep yet!

I got an email on my email accounts for DH and I to get appointments. I did DH first and by the time I got back in to do mine (after a few difficulties logging in) all the appointments for the week were gone. DH has an appointment to get the Astrazenca and I am still waiting.

He can do all the errands now.

Dang! Double Dang!
Fingers crossed for more appointments to open up.

Likely next week. The way I'm looking at it DH is the household guinea pig.

I guess I’ll get my email in due time. I just need patience.....BUT....I can “almost” feel the arms of my grandkids around me! Can’t wait for that!

Costco (where I got the appointment) it seems is sending out an email to xxx people and the appointments are on a first come first served basis. I then had to sign up again for the waitlist, I would have thought they would sent out appointment invitations by order on the waitlist or something like that but it doesn't seem so. Oh well lots of vaccine coming so we should all be getting shots soon.

Thanks for the info on that. It’s all a bit confusing but you’re right....lots coming. I guess we just need quick fingers when registering once our email comes.

I only lucked in because I happened to check my email. It came out at 7:03, and sometime after 7:15 but before 7:42 they were all gone.

I know a few people who got vaccinated at Walmart today after registering on Thursday. If you're not on a Walmart list, it is worth considering.

Walmart isn’t on the list in our area but thanks for the idea!

I popped into my neighborhood drug store this evening and they were doing vaccinations

Anyone in Durham Region, Lovell drugs has spots, but their website was saying unavailable, the pharmacist said for now it’s best to call directly. Who knows how fast they will fill those spots though..

My appointment is tomorrow with our local public health unit.

hubby and I are both getting jabbed tomorrow morning. If anyone has access to a Rexall that's giving the shots sign up with them! We both got texts and after a bit of a stumble due to excitement set things up, if we hadn't been so slow we could have gone today. The email with the link didn't come for almost an hour after that.

I'm beyond excited for this, hubby can help me grocery shop for the first time in over a year but best? I can FINALLY get treatment for my bipolar disorder that I've not been able to get since Feb 14, 2020.

Just heard that they are expanding the pharmacy vaccinations in Ontario to those over 55 and are adding more locations.

I want to offer you up as an example of social media at it's finest and extend my deepest gratitude as well. Since you made your post last week, I've counted 15 people who've managed to either get a shot already or have an appointment. THIS is how we take care of each other and move to the other side people!!!!

This has a been a long, lonely and hard road to walk and we're not done yet people, but the end is in sight. We just need to keep moving towards it, support one another, stay home as much as possible, wash our hands, mask up when we're out, keep our distance from those we don't live with and get whatever vaccine is offered to us as soon as we can. Doing all of those things will let the medical professionals take care of those who need it, stop the virus in it's track and hopefully gather with our families at Christmas time with ease. It will happen, we have the tools and others to support us, let's get 'er done!!

***ETA, i said Christmas because by that point hopefully even children will be vacinnated, we'll be able to gather before that but still need to be cautious until we reach herd immunity status. Evene once that happens, I might be masking up for a bit longer, not so much for myself but for others if I still get ill.

So, I just received an email from Costco but it is an encrypted email...says “click here” but then it says not available. Has anyone had that happen?

EDITED to say within half an hour the encryption worked and I made an account. Then logged on to the booking site, chose my appointment (THIS Wednesday) for my hubby and myself (YEAH!!!!) I can’t wait!!! So excited...so happy....a bit nervous....but one step closer to hugging those grandkids! Has anyone ever been happier looking forward to a needle??????

Dh got his first AZ shot yesterday morning at our local pharmacy. He’s feeling really crummy. Fever, chills, stuffed nose, sore throat and he’s EXTREMELY irritable. No worries, I’ll take it. It means his immune system is busy at work.
