Hi All,
I was able to book my two covid shots today as the province of Ontario opened
eligibility to "Group 2" workers which I fall under.

That's a little strange. The normal interval between the two shots
is 3 weeks for Pfizer and 4 weeks for Moderna. I'd double check on
those dates, doesn't seem right.

I can't get an apt. I guess I wasn't fast enough trying to book. LOL All booked up for the next 14 days. I'm also "Group 2" so will keep trying.

Nice! South of the Equator, they are vaccinating people today over 56 years of age with chronic ilnesses yet. I don't foresee getting my

I dunno, a lot of people fail to recognise that there's
more to COVID-19 to death. I _am_ one of those fit people
with no other health issues, and probably 99% likely to
survive the initial disease, there's other issues
including:
"Long COVID" - where debilitating symptoms persist for
months. This is still poorly understood, though there is
some research going into it.
Long term or permanent damage to organs and other parts of
the body. Organs affected include the heart and brain.
According to an article I read, COVIS-19 is a vascular
disease.
potential to end my high level of physical activity, which
in turn will lead to other issues, both physical and mental
health wise.
So the jab is the lesser of two evils in my book. :) At
least we're free to make that decision in my part of the
world. :)
For the record, I had AstraZeneca, which is a viral vector
vaccine, not a mRNA one. Currently, it's the only vaccine
widely available, and recommended for the over 50s. Pfizer
is the other one available here, but its stocks are
currently limited and is only being given to essential
workers aged under 50.

The dates are 100% correct.
"Extending the interval between doses for up to four months will
allow Ontario to rapidly accelerate its vaccine rollout and
maximize the number of people receiving a first dose. Evidence
suggests this will result in a reduction in infections,
symptomatic disease, hospitalization, and ICU admissions. This
means a lot less illness and a lot of lives saved."

In Germany the intervals are mostly 6 weeks for Moderna and BioNTech/Pfizer. I got my first shot of BioNTech two weeks ago.
My arm was a little sore and I felt a little cold and sluggish
for 3 days.
Here in Australia, anyone over 50, as well as essential workers under 50 can
get vaccinated. I actually got in before the general availability of vaccine,
because as a volunteer firefighter, I'm considered an "essential worker".
That's nice! Here we are still at the priorities phase, and the list of priorities change every week, as some specific group that believe they should be prioritized goes into justice and gets an authorization to do so... Here we have so many priorities that the general under-60
population won't get a jab anytime soon.

by Sept/Oct.

Sure.. "saving lives" may be the mantra on one hand, but
it's a slow death on the other hand.
Here it's front line border workers, folks working in hospitals etc.

Totally ridiculous to affect ALL of Ontario when the hotspots
are only Toronto and GTA.
I don't have any WFH options, a fixed $alary, pen$ions,

feed myself as a minimum is what I can ring up after a sale in

Update: I got a text/email from a local pharmacy (Shopper's Drug
Mart) that a spot opened up for tomorrow, so I'll be getting my
first shot two weeks earlier than I expected!
At any rate, I'll post here tomorrow and let you all know how it
goes. I know you're on the edge of your seats! ;)

There are NO studies long enough to truly tell you what the
risks are YEARS ahead. The virus is just slightly passed the
one-year mark.. and the drugs for it are even younger.

It's most likely all just speculation and fearmongering.

Noted. Exactly. That's something to fear.
As for the mental aspect.. even without covid, the results of
lockdown measures and trying to eke out a living when the debit
economies are arbitrarily stymied and NOT the credit economies
- is an unbalanced playbook - and thus I'd rather prefer that
someone just shoot me already.
I's rather wait until the initial injection period of the human
experient with the drug is over.. and be "protected" from the
zombies. ;)

Yes.. something of the mRNA one seems unpredictible. The
simplified "summaries" of how the mechanism works have a
patronizing tone.

It is interesting that the politicians came up with the essential/non-essential classifications for the public, yet
they did NOT imply at any time that they were essential
themselves - but they sure acted like it. If so, why were they
not the first people of all people to stand in line to
represent the importance of taking the jab?

Same here although I think I will hear in 12 weeks to get the second

Got my 1st shot this morning. The pharmacy is certainly not as

father-in-law but it went fine.
I was able to book one! Moderna for May 24'th. (Notice it's the

apt's for that day.
That sounds more like AZ. Pfizer/Moderna are 3 weeks between doses, IIRC.
Either that or Canada is doing weird things with dosing.

That's what I have been reading about the time between doses.

I don't think we have the supply here for that. The big push now is to
get the first shot into arms.
When I got my first shot the handout said I should get the second shot
in 16 weeks but the person who gave me the shot said 12 weeks and I
think that is the plan here now.
Folks getting a second dose here after three weeks doesn't happen
often, as far as I know.
I don't know if the timing is better at 3 or 12 weeks, and it's also a matter of supply.

Yeah nah, I still see QR codes as a failure. I might travel in the
wrong circles, generally low income and the elderly. But you roll up
to the local library and while you see people happy to sign in, I've
yet to see anyone use a QR code while you'll have a queue hanging out
the door to sign in manually at the counter. Have to say, I tend to
skip the queue and I canna process the QR code either.
Most places are trading pretty normally though.

I got the shot around 11am and I'd say by 7pm it feels as achey as it still does now at ~8am the next day. Still haven't grown any extra

Any craving for Brains? If not I think we've managed to avoid
anything too crazy this time. ;)
Okay, I guess I didn't realize the intervals might be different in various locations/countries. I had the same reaction to the shots, although symptoms lasted only about 24-36 hours afterwards.
