I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

[ilovetotravel1977]

Thanks everyone for virtual support.

I will do more research for peace of mind.

My parents were able to move their second doses up to July 1st. They got their 1st dose after me but I am happy they are getting it! Now for Ontario to fix the AZ issues and let me get an appointment for my second dose (preferable of Pfizer) sooner than later...

I have read about the issues with young men and the heart thing, but I had understood it to be a very small chance, and that obviously getting Covid could lead to worse problems. My son turns 12 this year and in some areas I'd already have gotten his 1st does but of course where we are won't allow it. I'm tempted to take a holiday to one of the areas that will allow it though, and fully plan to get him vaccinated as soon as we can.

Article from CBC - it's a week old but explains pretty well what it is and what to look for.

My DS25 is getting his first shot today. I should likely be more concerned for him then DD12. But I know he will want to travel and do stuff with his friends who are all getting it, so like he says "We are going to be somewhat forced to get it anyways, might as well do it now"

My Mom and Sister got their second shot today in Scarborough and they had a great experience. My Mother had taken her walking cane with her so they got put into a fast line for seniors.

I got my second Pfizer shot yesterday afternoon. I’m really glad I took today off.
Just a mild fever, but really tired.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone with a loved one dealing with Covid 19.
My youngest niece Chelsea (dual citizen Canadian/ British) ,,, has been in the UK for the past few years working for the N.H.S.(National Health Services).
Today my brother found out she has Covid 19. She is 29 years old. She has the Delta Variant.
She had only received one shot of the AZ Vaccine.
She is the youngest of 5 girls and has 1 younger brother. So far she is doing ok at home in isolation and I pray that the situation stays that way.
Right now I am reminding myself that we are all strong and can get through this.
It would be appreciated if you do say prayers if you could add a extra one in for Chelsea too ,,I'd really appreciate it.

With appreciative thanks &
Hugs

It’s so very hard when our loved ones are so far away and get sick. My sister constantly worries with every news update coming out of the UK, my niece lives in London.. she works for a large international pharmaceutical company and prior to covid travelled the world with her job.

Have sent up a quick for Chelsea. May she continue to have only the mildest of cases.
(((hugs to you Mel)))

got my second shot today which was nice, hopeful that I can travel again soon. Please remember though folks, the goal of the vaccine is not that no one will test positive ever again. Plenty of vaccinated people will test positive. The goal is to keep you from dying and ending up in the ICU. Eventually we need to stop focusing on case numbers because they are decoupled from the meaning of them a year ago. Also the variant is possibly a good thing since asymptomatic transmission was said to account for a large portion of transmission. The more people get symptoms and the faster they get symptoms, the easier it will be to control this combined with a decrease in serious outcomes through vaccination.

Great news!

 

[Donald - my hero]

we just got SIX emails from Rexall asking us to confirm which vaccine we would like to receive for our 2nd dose! So happy to see the above announcement that Onario has shortened the interval to 8 weeks since our health unit was declared as one of the hotspots for the Delta VOC. We're currently 9.5 weeks post first AZ dose and while I said we are fine waiting the full 12 weeks we're watching our ICU numbers climb again

 

[Hopeful8]

Jacqueline, wow! That is good that the pharmacies are on top of it. We will be 8 weeks this week and I think we might split the difference and do it at 10 weeks. Need to do more reading on it before I decide for sure. We aren't in a hot spot though

 

[Spotthecat]

We're in hotspot York Region. For my AZ shot 8 weeks from April 21st = June 16th. Whoa! That's much better than the random wait for July 14th...

I’m now moved up to June 15. I just wonder if I’m better off waiting until July 13 to maximise immunity/effectiveness. The news release did say waiting the 12 weeks provides optimal protection. So many decisions, so much data to sift through.

I say June 15th,,,, but this is just as a friend and not a doctor or professional.
I guess I just want everyone I know to be fully vaccinated.
But if you choose July 13 I'm ok waiting.,,,,, but June 15th would be better ,,,,LOL
