I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

Even with those odds. They do have ways to treat a possible clot issue. The only thing one needs to do is keep and eye out for potential signs of an issue and get yourself to a hospital so they can do their thing.

I think the variants scare me more than a clot does at this point.

My daughter who is also in the “high risk” groups for the clots said she’ll take one too. While I get they need to be cautious I think it’s being blown way out of proportion

Agreed. And it only contributes to the poor messaging that is occurring.

Agreed. Hearing about the amount of younger people in the ICU is scary. I’ll take the potential of a blood clot over that.

My parents got their appointments for April 29th! I'm relieved but it's still so far away. They are 74 and in Smiths Falls (Ontario) and getting them there, so they don't have to come into Ottawa for it.

My mom got her first shot today ! She’s 67 but she qualified under the work she does in the medical community . So happy to see our loved ones starting to get protected!

Agree 100% if you show up at ER after having AZ vax I would imagine they’d suspect/catch it pretty darn quick and you’d have great care..

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

that'll be the AZ, my BIL will sign up as soon as he can, he's the only one in the family in the right age range. they listed all the places in Ottawa and there are a lot of them. I think it's great!

Yep it’s the AZ. I’m not in the age group or I would have signed up myself.

And DW and I are now on the waitlist as we fit the new criteria for Pharmacy. I'll be perfectly happy to get the A-Z shot. Let's hope its not too long for the callback!

Thank you for posting this. I just put DH and I on the waitlist at the pharmacy. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this.

Exciting times!

Registered dh today. Our local pharmacy will also be a vaccine hub in our community. They start in one week. Giving out Moderna, Pfizer and J&J. It will be interesting to see where dh gets in first. If feels like things are moving!

Hi Hon
I know you have been so worried about him and I am so happy for you.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that your daughter finds a way to keep up her training during these difficult times.
Big hugs
Mel

My dad (78) got his first Pfizer shot on Friday (yay!) and reported nothing but a slightly sore area at the injection site afterwards. He slept longer than usual for his nap the next day, but that happens sometimes and I don’t think it’s related. My mom (68) goes for her first AZ shot Tuesday. She’s been worried about the side effects, thanks to the media hype, but I think she will be just fine.

AZ here (BC) only open for 55-65 age group!
