I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

[JETSDAD]

I was up just after 5AM and was already able to book my daughter (16) for June 4th. Since then I've been able to move it up a couple of times and now have it booked for May 29th. She's really looking forward to getting it even though she dreads needles.

Tell your daughter this was one needle I didn't even feel going in or coming out. No soreness at all until 48hours afterwards and then only to the touch.

Just called my Shoppers Pharmacy and they have not been told of any info regarding how much AZ they are getting and not received any info on how people are to book. They had been originally told the Gov would contact people via email .
Bit of a mess up.
I was in the March 10-19 group reported.

Talked to Shoppers Drug Mart near the Food Terminal where we received our first AZ vaccine on March 16th and they said that the second vaccines are only available for those before us and that we would hear something in July. Apparently they are just trying to get rid of the vaccines that expire the end of this month.

I don't mind waiting until my 12 weeks are up (June 8) but I sure hope it isn't going much past that.

just read this awesome post by our city's doctor regarding the 2nd jab of the AZ I've shared a few of her posts before and I know others have as well. The info is specific to our health unit regarding supply but still has great insight into timing

Waiting for the 2nd AZ jab

DD15 got hers Friday and she’s a tough thing ( ran cross country on a cracked femur ) she’s been guarding her arm all day and almost in tears several times..she keeps saying she knew it would hurt but didn’t expect it to be achy down to her hand.
I would be honest and tell her everyone is different and reacts differently . If you tell her it’s nothing and she reacts hard , you’ll feel bad . We got ice cream today and cuddled a lot..
You just never know.

I am going for mine this morning!

DH and I are full vaccinated. I registered DD13 for tomorrow for her first shot. Her friend who is a year younger just received her first one last week and didn't do too bad but had a sore arm, headache and nausea that lasted about 24 hours. I'm hoping DD fairs well as DH and I did good with only the sore arm and I had some tiredness after the 2nd one. We both had Pfizer too. Now to wait until DS11 can be eligible and we will get him his too.

DS16 got his first shot last week. I thought for sure I'd have to cancel his piano lesson the next day but he was fine.

DD turns 12 next month....so we will try and register her right after her birthday. DH wanted to sign her up on her birthday...so cruel, especially as she is terrified of needles. So happy she'll make the age cut off. Hopefully Pfizer will get approved for the younger ones in the not so distant future.

I've heard there's some mixed success at the pop-up clinics, but as far as I know you can book her now in Ontario even if she's still 11. They're booking kids as long as they're turning 12 this year (2009 year of birth or earlier).

Our youngest ds got his shot yesterday. He wanted it as soon as he could. He said " if it means we can get back to some sort of normal again Mom, I'm just going to do it" I'm proud of him for getting it. So far, he just has a sore arm, and nothing else. Because he is already 18, he received the Moderna. if they are under 18 and older than 50 (I think) they get Pfizer now. This is Alberta.

Thanks. From what I see this morning, you can currently book out to Jun 8th. My daughter turns 12 mid June so looks like we have to wait another week and a half to do the booking (i.e. for date opened up after she turns 12)

Sister got her second dose of Pfizer today due to being essential healthcare working in a category eligible for "early" second dose. First member of the family to have two doses - *happy dance*. She is not scheduled to work for the next few days, but we are all hoping the side effects are minimal [first dose landed her in bed the next day].

 

[ronandannette]

Big yay!! DH got his second dose (Pfizer) yesterday and will officially classify as fully vaccinated in 13 days!! Small boo at hour 18 the side effects hit him; fever, fatigue, joint pain - the whole bit. He's taken Advil and a nap and now feels a little better.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I just had my first dose of Pfizer yesterday and I had a crazy weird headache, fatigue and some tingling in my fingers. Still had a headache today and it comes and goes, but less each time.

Woot! Ontario 3.6% positivity rate!!!

What are BC and Alberta at? I assume it is lower since they are opening?

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Just got DD12 booked for June 16.

 

[Mikey15]

Kingston region is starting to have "drive up" clinics with the extra doses now hitting the region (they're sending more everywhere now after 2 weeks of focusing on hotspots). We're both booked for tomorrow afternoon!

Woot! Ontario 3.6% positivity rate!!!

What are BC and Alberta at? I assume it is lower since they are opening?

As of May 27, AB is at a 57.6% for first dose vaccinations, and a 6.5% positivity rate for covid cases.
Kenney says we *should* be able to fully open June 28th-ish if everything keeps going the way it has been.

Edited because my math sucks...

DD16 got her first shot today. My wife and I got our first shots a few weeks ago but our daughter's 2nd dose is scheduled ahead of ours. They're trying to get both doses into that age group before school starts in Sept. We homeschool so it makes no difference to us but she's happy to get that out of the way before our scheduled vacation.
