I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

[quandrea]

Maybe call your pharmacy? My certificate is really just 1 sheet of paper with a sticker and shot info on it. Wouldn't give it to me until I waited for 15 mins after the shot.

I got an email from the Ministry of Health. Dh got nothing. I just followed up with his pharmacy to see if I can get one for him.

I got a certificate to bring back when I get the second shot (yes, I'm home with a sore arm). Also got an email and text confirming I got my shot. Before I actually got it lol. Happy that's over. Everyone there was so happy to be there, lots of people coming in to try and book theirs too. I didn't get a second appointment, though the implication was I'd go back there for the second dose, the email said they'd be in touch any way. Hopefully that is true.

I've read mixed things, and a few speculations that people will get a different vaccine for their second dose (based on some testing happening in the UK I believe) but I don't care what I get, happy to get anything and get going on this.

It is nice to see so many people signing up when they opened it to 40+, I hope that those 55+ were able to get it if they wanted. I overheard a couple people who didn't get their "code" so hadn't been able to register. One had been trying for 3 weeks. I guess technology is an impediment for some of this... hopefully they can sort that out.

Any way! now to wait for any reactions, and a few months for the next dose. Phew, rollercoaster.

We went to a very small independent pharmacy in the town Dh grew up in. Dh knew the lady that checked us in , his sisters friends worked there . Very small town kinda day haha . We were super excited and the staff were so kind and happy to be giving shots . A great experience overall . We have our next appointments for August 11th .

Just got my AZ shot! While I am waiting my 15 minutes, I finally got emails from both Shoppers and Rexall to sign up...too late! And a text for my second appt, woohoo!

It's kind of funny that so many of us seem to be in our 40's

Not really. The Disney Renaissance started in the 80s so it fits that a lot of us have fond memories of Disney that brings us back as adults.

Hope your family got through.
So I went onto the Ajax pop up site this morning right at 9am and you actually don't book an appointment time you just send in your information and they will send you an email. Fingers crossed that I did it correctly because after 9:07 the site was full and no more appointments are being taken at this time. It asked if you could be there in 20 minutes for an appointment but since my nephews gf works I couldn't pick that one.
Now the site has crashed and gives me this funky website.

Edited to add: She has an appointment for Friday morning so it worked. Website is still down for anybody else.

Congratulations!

My son was on at 9am trying to get one. He’s going into residence in September so I’m hoping to have him fully vaccinated by then. His submission went through quickly, no problem, but then a few hours later he got an email from them saying sorry, we’re fully booked.

I looked back at my email. I have an e-receipt with all the details on it. That must be why I didn't get a paper with the info on it.

I was thinking the same thing

The downside is that if vaccine rates pick up I could be at the back of the pack for getting a second while other people get emails and texts saying that their second one is sooner than the 16 weeks.

The pharmacies have a list of what order people received their shots in. Second doses will be handed out in the same order. Those appt times people have received are not set in stone. The pharmacies could sent out an email adjusting their appt time etc. if supply isn't availble.

You will be getting your second dose at the same pharmacy you got your first one so they will follow a consistent policy (for their location). It's a long time to be worrying about the second shot now. Wait and see what happens as we near 3 months.

Is that the snow in your yard today? I heard the golden horseshoe got dumped on.

Well I would keep trying maybe everyday as they will be opening new slots after April 28th and good luck and hope he gets one.
I feel so lucky to have gotten her one and I have read online about so many people like your son who got through, registered then got the rejection letter.
We tried to get my nephew one in Scarborough (as that is his official address) but it is a real pop up one where you have to wait in line so we will keep waiting for one where you register for your appointment.

Ajax got lots of snow today as well. Here is the view of my neighbours tree this morning around 9ish. And another one of my masked friends on the bench in front of my house.

Thanks! Yes, we won't give up.
It does become a bit of an obsession though. lol.
I care more than he does, so I keep checking.

Yup that was me too - I was the one that booked the slot and stalked the site.
