I've Been Vaccinated (No Politics Please)

[SCCNJ]

London/St. Thomas was a bit of a mess this morning, but by the afternoon the health units had updated their sites. I'm in for a pfizer chaser to my AZ at exactly 8 weeks!

Just watched the video. My main questions are: who did that lady's hair and who chose her outfit? ooof! Sorry, petty I know, but it was literally the first thing that popped into my head LOL

We are also in BC. My dh and I had our AZ doses at Costco in April. 8 weeks will be June 20. We have NOT been contacted by Costco and their website just has a "wait-list". The Costco we went to for our shots, we were there a few nights ago to shop and the waiting area (for post shots) is gone. I'm a little....concerned at this point. We are the only ones in our friends group who went through Costco. Everyone else (who got AZ) went to smaller pharmacies or Shoppers.

I'm also in BC and I got my first AZ on April 20. 8 weeks from that date is June 15th and I woke up this morning to a text letting me know I can book my second dose. Shoppers, where I got my jab, has not contacted me yet. I am booked for my second vaccine tomorrow at a small pharmacy in Sooke where DH got his first. All I had to do was email them and ask for an appointment, they answered within half an hour!

I know in Alberta it opened up last week for anyone who received a shot in April. I let the rush go first, as I had really wanted to hit that 8 week mark for our first AZ shot.

I went to book an appointment through our health authority, and was pleased to see we could pick the second dose that we wanted.

I then proceeded to call the little pharmacy where we got our first shot to see if we came back to his pharmacy, that we could pick which dose we wanted since we had the AZ first. He informed me to book anytime after Wednesday...as they receive their shipments on Wednesdays, then he will have enough Pfizer for anyone wanting that as their second shot.

I was able to book our appointments late Wednesday afternoon. I just want this over with.

I sure hope that all of you in Ontario can hang on, find those appointments and make it through your lockdowns with all your hair!!!!!!

I just moved up my 2nd shot, from July 9th to June 23rd (AZ and now choosing Pfizer). A friend of mine told me (works at the health unit) that her boss told her new info shows that a sooner shot is more effective when mixing & matching. Her family dr said the same thing. I don't have the source of their info though.

Today is 8 weeks for me, and I got the text from the province at 12:50 am. Looks like the wait time for mRNA appointments is about 2 weeks, so I am going to go ahead with AZ this morning at my local pharmacy.

I can't find any pharmacies over here in Surrey or Langley that are offering second doses right now! Costco (where we went) is all wait list and Shoppers shows no availability.

For those in Toronto area looking for a second shot, it was just announced that they're adding 30k new slots tomorrow morning.

Dose two is done for both dh and me. We both got Moderna as our second dose. AZ was the first. Glad to have it done!

Daughter & I got our second vax today. Pfizer. Our first was Moderna. In BC. Vaccination centre only had Pfizer. Was given the option of returning whenever Moderna came in but we wanted vaccine now and took Pfizer.

 

[Aladora]

Dose 2 done, AZ for both.

DH just got an email from Costco (where he got shot #1). I signed us both up for Dose #2 shots. This Saturday. What a relief!
