It’s sad but after pounding the app and getting our vaccine appointments ... I miss it!! Bring on dose 2!! I’m ready to do this again in 4ish months.

Ha! @momof2gr8kids that is kinda what these appointment bookings feels like, eh? You wait months for your turn to book, and then it's like hitting refresh every two seconds LOL Or maybe a dining reservation!

LOL that's exactly what I did. They have an online que now before you're directed to the website. So I had an 8 minute wait, then earliest I could get was May 19.

So Happy for you!

I'm in AB, and my youngest DD(27), and her DH (also 27) have their appointments booked for their first Pfizer shots on May 13. I can't even begin to tell you how relieved I am just even knowing they're booked in. Everything is such a sh*t show here right now, when my DD called to tell me they were able to book for next week, I almost cried.

My DNiece (37 and pregnant) and her DH just got their first vaccines. Pfizer. I am so relieved.

My nephew just got his Pfizzer today so now all my friends and family have been vaccinated.

I just seen online that BC is opening bookings to 45+ today, should receive a text or email after 7pm it said.. I can't wait to get that text.... Hubby has his appt next week, my parents had theirs a couple weeks ago which was a huge relief to me. Thankfully my daughter was able to get hers a couple of months back she is a nurse and I was so worried about her.

I think Alberta will be behind you in running out. Alberta has a higher younger population than other provinces. There was already talk on Tuesday of some places running out of the AstraZeneca for the new age restrictions.

@Pumpkin1172 how are you feeling now? Hoping you are feeling a bit better now, after your positive test.

NS just opened Pfizer / Moderna to 45+ today. My DH didn't try to book his, which is extremely frustrating. I am going to have to guilt him into getting it in terms of helping to protect our parents vs protecting himself (he says he's fine). It's like stabbing my eyeballs with a fork sometimes.

They also said kids 12-15 will be able to get a shot by the end of June. I am in the next cohort, which should be in the next week or two!

Hopefully the rest of the provinces follow Alberta and open it up to 2009 and older so there is no more confusion over who can get it and who can’t. The confusion is what will keep people from getting vaccinated. I’m looking forward to the day I can book my second shot (Pfizer) and be fully vaccinated.

 

[tlcdoula]

I got my text message to book last night after I was sleeping for the 45+ in BC. There were so many dates to pick from. I ended up choosing the same day hubby has so I don’t have to go alone. He booked his appt 2 weeks ago. I guess the new shipment has increased the booking appointments. So relieved to be getting my first shot in Wednesday.

Not sure if it’s been posted... Things are changing quickly.. As of today, in the GTA both Pfizer and Moderna are available at some pharmacies, in some cases for 18yrs +.
Toronto & Peel have Pfizer.. Durham, York, Hamilton & Ottawa have Moderna - all regions will continue to have AstraZeneca.

I was just driving by our local hockey arena and they have queue lines outside of it now. The lines weren't there yesterday. I technically live in a local hot zone so they must be getting ready for a pop up clinic.

I'll have to watch the Health units website on Monday. DS3, (age 24) is in need of a vaccine.

Just got Moderna! Sitting in the waiting room for 15 minutes and then done

My son is 18 and in Halton, Ont will be eligible for the vaccine tomorrow. Are people signing up at midnight or at 8am?

Also, do I just go on my local Halton site or is there a provincial site, or should I try the pharmacy? So much unknown. I don't feel prepared.

Not the pharmacy. Use the Halton link above and keep refreshing to get alternate appointments. You can start checking right after midnight.

Thanks.

He starts his job on Wed. Are they going to ask for something like a paystub proof or just that he can't work from home?

Got a booking, but the only times available are the days he's booked to work. I'm hoping he can get the time off. There's no link to reschedule the appointment. There used to be a link to check your appointment, but I can't find it any more.
