I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

I was JUST coming here to post this too

I'm hoping BC follows suit!!!! (of course it's based on availability of the vaccine itself too)

If you scroll down the page you will find the info on which pharmacies in your area are offering the AZ shot
There’s a drop down menu that goes community by community

Starting Tuesday, I have made a reminder and will be calling asap... so excited!!! I may get mine before my parents... crazy. They have an appointment for April 29 in their local area as they didn't want to come to Ottawa for their shots. So happy with this news.

Awesome!!!!
Thanks for sharing!

That's just registration though. They will then contact you to book your appointment. Going by age cohorts they are currently vaccinating 63+ year olds. So I've probably got a few weeks to wait, yet. I'm all registered, though!

When your age group pops up, quickly register at costcopharmacy.ca. You do not need a membership to get a vaccine there. We also registered at Shoppers Drug Mart but had our vaccine through Costco before we ever heard back from Shoppers. Register wherever you can to increase your chance of getting in quickly.

Sure hope you are all able to get one soon.

All signed up! Hope I’ll be reporting back soon!

So what do I do to sign up ? I registered with shoppers and Rexall awhile back and they both tell you they will let you know when your age group is eligible. Should I wait until the age group opens on Tuesday and then sign up with Costco or get on their list to be notified now ?
( I won’t make multiple appointments, I just want to take the first one offered to me )

Keep in mind that you are not restricted to the community in which you live. My sister & BIL live in Durham Region but we’re able to be vaccinated (AZ) at a pharmacy in Scarborough.. a 10 minute drive from home for them - a same day appointment. Morning phone call, early afternoon needle.

I registered with my local pharmacy. I also signed up with loblaws. Like you, I’m registered with Rexall and Shoppers from a while back. I think you’re set.

I would register with Costco as soon as you are able. Then, when it’s your turn you will receive an email to book your time. You won’t need to make multiple appointments. It just gives you more opportunity to make a specific time.

Thank you both . This is like the most important fastpass or ADR I ever made

I know people who got theirs at Walmart too. Make the reservation anywhere you can drive to.

 

[quandrea]

Walmart has about a million appointments for Tuesday and beyond. Do you think we can book now or must we wait for Tuesday?

If it lets you book, I would book.
