Now that DH is vaccinated, that just leaves DS. He's only 15 (16 in July) so it will be a while before his age range is eligible.

So I just watched a piece on Global news this morning on the UK study and vaccine mixing. Initial findings are that there are no safety concerns with mixing.

People in the study did report moderate illness and side effects after the second shot.

As always they stressed that these are early findings .

I've heard that with the Pfizer and Moderna shots, the reaction is much worse after the second shot even if it is the same shot as the first.

I’m thinking if I can I will try to book the day after my second dose off . AZ knocked me on my butt and it was a rough few days of work. Otherwise I still plan on taking whatever I’m offered first as my second shot.
Ds17 was offered and accepted a full time camp counsellor position with our local YMCA. I think that will qualify him under child care staff for his vaccine . Plus his age should come up in June so one way or the other he will have a first dose for the start of camp .

We said the same thing. I told dh I am NOT going to work the next day if I feel like I did with the first one. I am not going to chance it. We are always pushing ourselves to go to work, when we should be practicing more self care. Dh can go to work if he wants...I will not be doing that. I will take a personal day or holiday day for it, if I have to.

If there is one thing I have learned over this past crazy year, it was about self care and doing what needs to be done for ME!!!!!

Here is a general DIS question. Does anyone else just get spinning wheels when links are posted? I've looked on Firefox, Edge and Google, and it always just spinning wheels.

I see them as well but the links work when I click them.

YES, the only place the links appear as anything other than the spinning is within private conversations. There was a software update months ago that severed connections with BB coding - won't get into the techy details but that is also what could make editing your post difficult since you also use a different font/colour. It's all those lil buttons up top that allow you to add formatting. NOW, you can work around it by using the fancy little looking paper clips, click on them, paste the link into the box that opens and type the words you want to appear instead of the spinny wheels. It's frustrating, it's been reported numerous times but not high on the priority list to get fixed.

Long way of saying, no, you're not the only person who sees those annoying boxes.

Even in private conversations, I get spinning wheels. Learned not to try to link anything.

That's the only way I ever did it (using the interlocked rings). It works quite well. If it's just a photo I just copy and paste.

Took me a while to realize that it still worked.

Anyone else not able to to paste here from the new snip & sketch tool?

Interesting new study on second dose delay times.

Second Dose Delay

"“Our study demonstrates that peak antibody responses after the second Pfizer vaccine are markedly enhanced in older people when this is delayed to 12 weeks,” Helen Parry, an author of the study based at the University of Birmingham, said."

Thanks! It took me a while to realize that the links work, but I thought the spinning wheel thing was just me.

I am glad that my second shot is scheduled in late August. I will be able to rest at home for a few days if needed before school starts in September.

It's been a rough week with Chronic Bronchitis and Allergies.

Just to make sure it's not Covid 19 my doctor requested I go for a Covid test today.
Well it wasn't as bad as I've heard ,,, I went to one in Mississauga , It is a Drive Thru (Fire Station).
People were kind and courteous. They mentioned that if you are in need of groceries they will bring you free groceries and while I don't need them I thought this was a great idea.
I am very thankful I got my first shot of AZ March 17th though.
So anyone looking in Mississauga for a testing site

Wish me luck
