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.

Hugs Hon
Yep he is just showing a good immune response.
So happy happy he got the shot.
Extra cuddles and maybe some popsicles will help.
Hugs

My husband was vaccinated with Moderna yesterday at the hospital, and my appointment is today, but I don't know what I am getting. We live in hotspots in Toronto and are born 1971 or earlier. If there is anyone here from Toronto born 1971 or earlier, there are a number of hospitals that are vaccinating hot spot based on postal codes. Hope this helps someone out there.

This is a second-hand report.

My sister lives with me and is a healthcare worker eligible in the current phase one group they are doing here in our city. She pre-registered online and then waited. And waited some more. Eventually got an email with a link and was able to go and choose among a limited set of options for a preferred vaccination date and time at the vaccination site. Yeah !

This past Wednesday afternoon was her slot. I drove her. Parking was a nightmare, so I dropped her off and drove down the street to a Shoppers and parked in their parking lot and did some reading while I waited for her to text me she was done. Took over an hour. At least we've figured out the drop off/pick up situation for shot two.

She got Pfizer. Some initial upper arm soreness near the injection site, "less than a flu shot". The next day morning though she woke up with a headache, feeling feverish, and muscle aches: "wondering where the dump truck was", and very tired, plus the upper arm hurting more. Because those symptoms could be covidy, she called out sick from work, however, she said they were bad enough that even in a non-covid world she would have called out sick that day. Took a Tylenol and curled up in bed. From my observer POV she was definitely cranky and not feeling well.

By that afternoon (by about 24 h post vaccine) she was feeling improved: headache gone, fevery gone, achiness reduced, still tired, but ready to rejoin civilization. By the next morning all symptoms gone.

Presumably this means she had a hearty immune response. We are both a little concerned that if is this is the reaction to the first shot, what will her reaction to the second one be like ??? We find out in July... Her employer automatically schedules them off the day of their second shot AND the day after, which is good. She said after the first that she will pre-schedule two days off after the second dose, just in case.

Thanks for sharing the experience. Seems so random who will get a reaction. My husband got the Pfizer on 3/30. He didn’t have any reaction.

Ontario is moving to Phase 2. And some areas are going to age 50+ (the hot spots, not sure where those are though). Still waiting for my turn... patiently? Sort of? Happy for all who can get their shots.

Ontario is moving into Phase Two of its COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan. We expect to vaccinate over nine million Ontarians between April and the end of June, pending supply.
Ontario is increasing vaccine allocations to COVID-19 “hot spot” communities across 13 public health units, including supporting regions to vaccinate individuals aged 50 and over by postal code.
Phase Two also includes vaccinating individuals with the highest-risk health conditions and their essential caregiver. Eligible populations will be contacted by their health care providers to schedule their vaccination, primarily in hospital clinics.

banner day in our household. Both got jabbed, it's old lady day at Rexall (over 55 gets 20% off regular priced items) I got a bunch of Be Well points and redeemed $20 worth of points. Got an email with the link for my virtual appointment with the doctor who will be supervising my treatments on Friday so I can get this party started!! 2 weeks for me to drop dosages on a few new medications I've needed to take while waiting and my vaccine to have kicked in.

I got my second jab last week. Moderna. Except for a headache for a day, and an achy arm for a couple days, I feel great. A bit of swelling at injection site.

 

[OnceUponATime15]

First dose done! Second appointment all set & confirmed for late July
I received the Pfizer vaccine. Painless and the entire process was incredibly well run. Seamless.

Now I wait to see if I will have any reaction at all...

I’ve stopped listening to what the province says about vaccines. A lot of areas have been vaccinating “phase 2” groups for a couple weeks now. I just follow what our local public health is doing. They are really the ones doing the work.

Well, apparently I'm in a hotspot and they're allowing those 50+ to book appointments starting tomorrow. So I'm just outside that window but it could be very soon for me.

Here's a screenshot of the Hot Spot postal codes:

 

[juniorbugman]

Well I knew this but I am in a hot spot as well. I will check it out tomorrow. It seems my sister is as well so I will have to let her know.

Where did you find this? I can only find a source with 6 postal codes from York region...

it was on the twitter feed of CBC reporter Mike Crawley. My wife told me about it.

Yes, I'm really impressed how many here are reporting being vaccinated. I guess most of us are in the same age bracket.
