I am unsure of what I am going to do yet as well. DH will take whatever is offered to him. We are in Alberta, and on June 14 I can book our second dose. I am really unsure of what to do. After hearing Tam yesterday as well, I don't really know if they have our best interests in mind.
In the big scope of things, we are just a number. They " expect" a certain number of cases that will have the complications...and to them we are just a number in order to get our immunization numbers up, so that the strain on our hospitals and medical front line workers can ease. It's kind of like going to war...there are calculated moves and fatalities.
Is anyone who had Astra Zeneca any closer to a decision on their second dose ?
My husband is thinking he wants whatever he can get first. I think the main driver behind that is pandemic fatigue and wanting whatever will let him get back to some sort of normal.
We are the same. I was hesitant for the first AZ, but took what we were offered because we were not getting numbers of vaccines we were promised, and it just seemed like we would stay in this perpetual hell of restrictions and lockdowns. Forward 3 weeks...and all of a sudden we have vaccines coming out the ying yang and they are lowering and lowering the ages of people who can get their shot. I was UPSET!!! Again, the Generation X settles for what is available. Then all of the messaging about side effects, expired dosing, not enough for second shots and vaccine mixing. It has been a total fiasco and circus. I mean...nothing about the AZ and everything surrounding it is rosey.
Hey guys. Honestly I am still on the fence about getting the vaccine. We (DH and DD and I) have appointments tomorrow to get our first Pfizer shots. I don't know if we will do it. I have been hesitant about it since they came out. It feels like everyone else is doing it, so we should too, but I hate feeling like that. Anyone else still not 100% sure about getting it or did you have any bad reactions to it when you got it? Also have they done enough studies on children aged 12+ yet? Really? What about the myocarditis risk now.. ughhh.
I'm just so nervous, but we also want to be able to travel again freely without worry!
We were (and I still am) hesitant for receiving this. For now, we have received our first shot, and we will get our second shot - as we believe that in order to travel, we will need to show that we are vaccinated. But as for getting a booster.......... I don't know if we will. We will see how this allllllllll pans out and what happens in the future. Things are changing too fast on a daily basis, that I won't make that call yet.
I am not an anti-vaccine person at all. But this just feels in my gut different/weird. I can't put my finger on it. Our thoughts were, everyone else is getting vaccinated for it, if there are horrible side effects, it will affect billions of people world wide. It's like of like the TicTock of a man welcoming a new neighbor...and them showing off their weird side effect that developed from the certain vaccine they got ( an actual middle eye, a tail and then the other one comes along and he is a walking Zombie lol) The majority of people are getting the vaccine, so many of us will have and long term side effects from it as well.
) we’re getting notified when it’s our turn for dose 2 per age qualifications. Maybe check with your PHU if you don’t use the prov booking portal.
This one isn’t good enough. Tam said AZ patients would have a choice for their second doses, and now public health units decide to break from that. Peel is going the way of Hamilton.
