I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

[samsteele]

Found another tel number for those trying to help friends/family move up their 2nd shot. 1-833-943-3900. On hold right now. From Christine Elliott's twitter posts this morning. Number posted on the ontario site is slammed and constant busy signal. No luck using the site as either kicks me off after I wait through the queue or tells me no Moderna vax available anywhere in my area. Will keep trying for family over the week as first day of the drop always wild.

I know the radio was just saying that more Pharmacies have the Moderna Vax right now.
They were telling people to register with their local pharmacy.
(This is in the Peel/GTA area)/

register with their local pharmacy

Yes - great advice. My parents and aunt have done exactly that and even drove in to the pharmacy to register on in house lists because the lines were tied up with all the hopefuls. I finally got through on that 1-833 number and the operator explained no Moderna and no Pfizer at all available to book the accelerated 2nd dose on the Ontario website for Eastern and Central Ontario. This will prob change over the next few days. Similar issue for the 80+ crowd last week but most did eventually book their accelerated 2nd dose by the end of that week. So still trying a few times a day on the website. Think everyone needs lots of luck!

Just booked 2nd doses for my husband and I! My 1st dose was April 5th so my 12 week is June 28 and I am booked for my second on June 29th. My husband's 1st dose was April 9th and his 12 week will be July 2nd. He is booked for July 3rd.

We both had Astra Zeneca for our 1st dose and are choosing Pfizer as our 2nd dose.

Your dates are identical to my husband’s. I booked him for dose two yesterday. I won’t be able to book myself for a bit. I’m due July 13.

How are you feeling today???

 

[bababear_50]

I feel like I went a round with a giant in my sleep.
Way more side effects than last time.
Neck is all stiff and can't raise arm. Arm swollen and sore.
Bit of a temp ..yah know like when your coming down with a cold or virus.
Very tired which is not going to go over well if I fall asleep on the kids in class today ,,,lol.
Anything is better than Covid and I am sure in a day or two I will be fine.

Offering encouragement.. you today was my Mom on Sunday after her Saturday needle. She bounced right back by Monday . Sending you positive energy, I’m betting you’ll feel 100 times better by tomorrow!

I’m off to my appointment in an hour, I didn’t book tomorrow off and am hoping for the best… that whatever happens is tolerable enough to be able to work.

Me too… my appointment is at 1:30.
Crossing fingers for both of us!

 

[pigletto]

Good luck gang ! So excited to see second doses happening !!!

 

[OnceUponATime15]

It is a whole lot busier here this afternoon then last time!! There are dozens of us waiting to check in.. they just called the 1:25 group up. 8 desks open - let’s see how long it takes. . 1:30 appointments on deck.

[lisaviolet]

Fully ****ing vaccinated.

 

[lisaviolet]

Second dose today. Played the Ontario website like it was Las Vegas and won.

Pfizer.

And the Metro Convention Centre , Toronto, was superb like the last time. Total walk through and was finished in mere minutes.

So happy!

We are doing this! Best of luck to everyone with their appointments.

We are in Ontario. My DH called yesterday and secured accelerated 2nd dose appts for my mother (70+) and himself (health condition). It was quite straightforward and had open availability a week from now. This will mean a 6week gap between their Pfizer doses.

I am anxiously waiting for an earlier second dose for my kids and I but very relieved that at least 2ppl in my family will be protected.

Not sure how well the vaccine will work for DH so hoping for herd immunity to increase his protection. Thankfully, my region has had high vaccine uptake.

My sister got just her 2nd dose appointment for this Friday for 8am in Scarborough. My Mom has an appointment that day for 9:20 so my sister thought that Mom would just have to go early with her but then she double checked her appointment and hers is for 8pm not am. She sent the Health people and email asking if she could have the same time as my Mom but she hasn't heard back yet. She figures since they have 3-4 days to respond to you that the time will have come and gone by the time she hears back from them.
She was laughing at herself that she didn't notice the time but she did look for an earlier appointment and there were none and the appointments were scarce so she will take anything.

Feeling so much better today.
Arm is still a bit tender but the other symptoms have fade away.
Best wishes to everyone getting their shots.
