Vaccination, who's received it and which one?

[ZR]

With all the uncertainty over the AstraZeneca version, where does your comfort level fall?
With the govt flip flopping back and forth regarding what age group it's safe for, wtf is a person to think is safe for them?

[hammerhead]

Honestly Rick I am not keen on the 16 week extension- those fuckers let the medical community run the country for the last year and decided to take control on the most important decision- I will be the last person vaccinated and will only do the one dose...

[ZR]

When it was announced two weeks ago I was eligible, before I was even aware received phone calls from two different family members alerting me to possible issue for peeps either susceptible or currently dealing with blood clot issues. Quick Google search and I was thinking there's no way I'm stepping up and getting poked (currently dealing with current / post Pulmonary embolism issues). Now they've flopped saying safe for those over 55 reporting most issues for women of that age or younger with a staggering mortality rate if they do have an issue. There are times I can almost tolerate the govt talking outta 16 sides of the same mouth but this ain't it.

[Old Fart]

As a retired public health officer, it's difficult for me to say this, but I'm waiting till the dust settles. Like you said above, too many flip-flops and with my past strokes, I don't want to chance it. If I was working, that opinion might change. It might also change if I was located in an area where a lot of people don't give a f*** and the chance of catching covid is higher. I am content with my current prevention practices and I try to stay away from people.

My son will be getting the vaccine since his nursing program requires it in order to complete his 4th year. Our health Unit is using the Moderna vaccine

[R3troGT]

I am not in the least interested in getting any of them

[RedSN]

Birth control pills have a higher record of blood clot complications than any of the COVID vaccines, yet they are administered freely.
However..... if I had a history of blood clots, I would be very cautious and seek professional medical advice, not internet speculation.

My personal comfort level is high as I’ve never had any adverse reactions to traditional medications/vaccines.

[92redragtop]

My wife has had the Moderna (along with all her co-workers and all the seniors in their retirement facility (independent living/retirement community).....maybe 250 people between employees and seniors (and I believe all the other homes in their national network has received the vaccine with no issues - they're one of the large national companies in the retirement plus LTC homes business so thousands of employees and seniors), my friend's senior parent's and brother have had the Pfizer shots, and some doctors/healthcare workers in our family, with no issues. I would personally be fine with either Moderna or Pfizer. I'd be hesitant about Astra Zeneca given the related news but that said, I'm not in any high risk/co-morbidity groups so push come to shove I'd probably be fine with it although preference is with the first two.

[mavrrrick]

I have no underlying health issues, but I think I’m gonna wait till dust settles as well. I don’t trust information we are being given-to much bs has been thrown around.

+1 totally agree with Mav on this one. I don’t really trust anything being fed to us.

Once I am forced to go get it (once work travel resumes) then I will only consider the Moderna or Pfizer options.

[5.4MarkVIII]

I think its absolutely Stupid that so many younger healthy people have been given any vaccine just because they "work" in the health care field (many who are in administration and work from home, and are no where near any patients) while people like my Mom who is in her 60's and had type two diabetes and is still currently dealing with cancer bullshit, is being told that she is not yet eligible.


I also think its absolute bullshit that so many people who where standing up and preaching how we all need to make sacrifices, justifying bankrupting thousands of people with lockdowns with not a single care for the lives or livelihoods of the business owners effected, saying repeatedly to trust the health experts, over a virus with an extremely low mortality rate for the majority of the population are now refusing to take a vaccine, that has an extremely low mortality rate, going against what the health experts are saying. which is only going to prolong this for everyone.

nothing like putting on a mask and locking down, both things that statistical did very little to stop the spread around the world. but refuse to take the vaccine that can actually fix this

[Uncle Buck]

I got the Moderna shot yesterday. No issues s far.

I'm comfortable with getting it and glad to do my part to crush this horrible virus. Looking forward to shaking everyone's hand again over a pint or coffee.

[bluetoy]

Just to be clear here. The Vaccines DO NOT prevent you from getting or spreading Covid. They reduce your risk and reduce the severity of the virus if you happen to catch it. Get the Vaccine if you want. Still be cautious.

What's your source for this? My understanding is the studies are still on-going with respect to COVID transmission with vaccinated individuals.

Ok I misread that page. I have seen it in other studies. The vaccine is not 100% effective and doesn't guarantee you will not catch or transmit Covid. Get the vaccine. It does not mean you are immune. Message here is be careful even if you get the shots.

Here read this one. Don't run around and think you are immune and are not a threat to others. It's not there yet. It's a start.

[RedSN]

Where on that page does it say getting the vaccine will NOT “prevent you from getting or spreading Covid”?

[Uncle Buck]

I smell a black flag coming. Lol

[RedSN]

Naw, aw, don’t do that. It was a serious question. I read the entire Health Canada page listed, and I must of missed the part about the Covid vaccine not preventing you from contracting the disease. I mean, it’s kinda what vaccines do, otherwise what’s the point?


A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease.[1] A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future.

The effectiveness of vaccination has been widely studied and verified

No vaccine is 100% effective. They are saying that the covid vaccine is about 95% effective. So that means that 5% of us will not be protected and can catch the disease. If the vaccine is effective for a person, that person can still spread it to others.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/yes-you-can-still-get-infected-with-covid-19-after-being-vaccinated-here-s-why-1.5259495

[RedSN]

95% efficacy is outstanding.
Most flu vaccines are around 40%-60%


that means that 5% of us will not be protected and can catch the disease.
You’d have to catch it from an anti-vaxer, because the rest of us 95 percenters wouldn’t have the virus.

[Hutch]

My wife is a labour and delivery nurse and has got the Pfizer shots. She is but felt a little more on the tires side for a while afterwards. She really researched it and talked to many friends that are doctors. After that she felt it was a good choice to get it. I really think everyone needs to try and do there part but you need to do what works best for you. I will get one when I can to try and help get things back to somewhat normal.
A co worker of mine got it from a guy he does side jobs with. His entire family immediately got it from him. He said it was the worst 2 weeks of his life. He’ll get the vaccine when he can to not go though that again.

[5.4MarkVIII]

yes no vaccine is 100% effective. but what other virus to we vaccinate people for and then still force them to stay home? influenza vaccines are usualy around only 60% effective however we dont force people to stay away from care homes and hospitals once they have been injected.

its 100% idiocy and anti science for governments to keep people restricted after they get the shot. and likewise for people to not get the shot if available.

and our government today talking about posable lockdowns again.

the single best way to promote and increase vaccine hesitancy is to keep people locked up after they get the shot. what's the point in the shot them?


worst part is EVERY SINGLE death from these new variances that are effecting people younger than the base virus is 100% the fault of our idiot government and every single person that defended and promoted lockdowns. having caught the virus is proving to be as good if not better than the vaccine and had then just let the younger low risk population live their lives the first time. those people would now have a built in immunity to these more dangerous variants. this is what happens when we ignore the science and the medical experts that are actually in the field working in favor of political driven idiots.

Thank you. Your edit is much more clear and concise about getting your point across. The point is well taken: until there is a larger number of vaccinated people there is still a risk (because no vaccine is 100%). This risk goes way down as more people are vaccinated, but until then, stay the course.

from your new link:

Many more people need to be vaccinated before we achieve sufficient community immunity. Until that happens, you still can pass the virus to others, even if you are fully vaccinated.

[RedSN]

its 100% idiocy and anti science
Where did you get that figure from?

[5.4MarkVIII]

Where did you get that figure from?

based on Israel's real world numbers after a set number of days and one shot they are seeing a 90 % efficiency and something like a 95% drop in deaths.

so based on the science there is no reason for the government to keep a vaccinated person under restrictions. doing so only causes people to not bother getting vaccinated. there for it's 100% idiocy and 100% anti science.

how many people here saying they would not get the vaccine would change their mind if it meant life as usual once they had it?

i remember when being an anti vaxer was a bad thing

[hammerhead]

There's still too many unanswered questions surrounding the circumstances but everyone has closed their minds on vaccination - i.e. why aren't old people in homes aloud out - why are we building a vaccine facility when in it won't be needed when its complete - why do vaccinated still need masks - is it going to be a yearly process - if you listen to what the leaders aren't telling us it raises a lot of uncertainty - to have someone without credentials who has nothing but time on their hands to read all the bs from around the world all day, then call everyone else an idiot cause for some reason their understanding supersedes the rest and trumps all is kinda Trump like.

I’m old enough to remember when people where called idiots and intelligence was questioned right here in this site for questioning masks and lockdowns.

Now those same people are saying they won’t take a vaccine that has far better science backing it than masks and lock downs did.

Call it Tump like but I’m tired of the bs hypocrisy where it’s okay for some people do do something but not okay for others.

The science backs the vaccines if people don’t want them then fine but then we need to end this mask and lock down BS and let people get back to their lives.

[Mellow Yellow]

I haven't had any vaccine in the last 40 years. Not starting now.

[Gabe]

My sister has received the Moderna (she is a personal support worker), my mother in law received Moderna (nurse) and my wife's grandfather (96) also received Moderna. My sister had some issues with her arm for a day or so, potentially because of an auto-immune disease she has. Other than that, no issues

As someone with an underlying respiratory issue waiting to have major surgery at Toronto General, I can only hope as many people get this vaccine as possible to limit this third wave and relieve the congestion in the ICU's to allow surgical wards to re-open

[hammerhead]

this morning on the news a gentleman received one shot and was informed his second dose will be a different brand (he was ok with that) - how is that possible - will they react - 16 weeks between shots - just seems to shoot from the hip for me - I will wait cause if the USA won't approve the astrazeneca but feel it's ok for Canadians I will wait - It's sad the hospital situation, but that wasn't caused from antivaxxers and the roll out is typical of the speed of our government to get things done...not sure why when things open up the hospital rate and cases climb - must be a fluke

[bluetoy]

Here's my .02. Getting the vaccine is a personal choice and everyone has different reasons for getting or not getting it. Which brand, side effects and availability are all factors. I think it should not be anyone else's business. If you get vax and I don't what difference does it make to you? you are vaxed and wont get sick from me (maybe) and if I get sick from you it's my business. Same goes opposite. If I get vax and you don't it doesn't matter to me. Since I'm fairly safe. If I give it to you well thats your problem. Calling people names and stuff is nonsense. Best idea right here ----> Turn off the news. Stay away from people. Live your life.

funny thing is i agree with you 100%

All I'm doing is acting the exact same way other people were acting when it came to mask and lockdown conversations on this site.

when there was conversations about masks and if they were effective. I remember some people saying that it is a free country and that it should be personal choice. I was told freedom doesn't trump the greater good of the health of others. there were multiple comments regarding intelligence ect. comments about antimaskers. I'm pretty sure there were also comments linking it to conspiracy theories and Qanon.

but now when the situation is reversed. people have a problem with those kind of comments.

if someone is anti mask and anti lockdown and anti vaccine, then i have no issue there, as there is consistency

I have issue with the people that were pro mask and pro lockdown but now not willing to do the one thing that will actually make a difference. sacrifice should not be a one way street.


as for being back... we shall see. i check in every now and then. this post dragged me in. we shall see if the ban hammer starts swinging again

in regards to the icu and hospital numbers
23610

this is the graph taken directly from Ontario's website. the black line is the ICU numbers. they are not relaying all the info (surprise)

what I was told, from someone who has been working in an ICU with Covid patents. Some people go into the hospital and get on a ventilator for a few days and then get better and move out. However there are a large number of elderly people who, due to the severity of their illness or underlying condition, are not leaving the hospital. They have been left in a state where they cannot return to the care home they were in due to ventilator requirements or other health reasons. Sadly they will most likely remain in the ICU or hospital until they pass. They no longer have the virus and are not contagious but since Covid was the reason for them being immitted, they remain on the count for Covid ICU and hospitalization counts.

apparently ICU capacity is currently only around 20% but the lockdown talk has begun again

I've been watching with Durham Region COVID data reports since the beginning of the Pandemic. In particular the hospitalizations and deaths. There was a slight spike in both during the "2nd wave", but things normalized again. As for deaths, the young people dying has been less then one handful and people 50-69...a total of 26. The oldest bracket 70-95+ have taken the hardest hit (common knowledge). This in a population of 642,000.

Government projections (worst case) have never been even close when it comes to cases/day and hospitalizations.

On the vaccination front, I'm undecided. I'm old school...what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, and I doubt this will be the last of the virus' we all have to worry/contend with. In fact, the gov't has already indicated a yearly shot may become necessary/recommended.

My daughter works in the hospital and has had two shots, both Pfizer. 1st shot, no side affects whatsoever, 2nd shot, she felt fatigued and also had some chills and a sore arm for about 24 hrs. and was then fine.

Anyone else think its interesting that the government decided that they new better then Pfizer/Moderna when it came to just issuing a single shot....and delaying the 2nd beyond what the companies themselves said?

I’d have to look back but if I recall correctly both Pfizer and moderna. Came back and said that real world testing was showing that one shot was good enough for something like 85-90% efficiency and that the second shot would give the 95 plus and could be given as far as 4-6 months away.

IMO this was the move that should have been made sooner.

Yes ideal situation both shots within the best case scenario time frame but since our government is a cluster fuck and the whole roll out thing has been a fail on both provincial and federal levels.

One shot in twice the people is far better right now. Worse case there if they don’t get the other one In time is there person has fairly good immunity right now and then just need to get both shots again later once we know for sure how long the immunity lasts for. By then hopefully supply has caught up.

[Ger]

Got mine today. No side effects so far but expect the arm to get a bit sore much like a flu shot. Went to Markham as the schedule here in Newmarket was full. Pfizer was on offer. Staff at the Aaniin Community Center was great. Wait time was minimal. In at 3:40 out at 4:00.

I think this is what is driving more antivax ideology than anything else. The numbers they show and preach on the news is contradicted by simply following the numbers on a semi daily basis.

[Harbinger]

My gf got the Pfizer vaccine as a health care worker. They pushed back the second dose...ridiculous. I'm waiting for a chance at the Pfizer or Moderna since I'm front line as well and essential. I will not take my chances with the Astra vac. Reports show the Pfizer vaccine is very effective in younger persons without adverse effects.

But we can go back and say the Gov fucked up in locking the country down back in March 2020... Should have had a big lock down super tight long enough to get the vaccines before the cases quadrupled. Now with cases going up again i think vaccines are late as fuck...saved people, yes but with reports showing even younger, super healthy adults getting covid and being morbidly affected by it / dying from it is scary. We need more Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for the younger, dumber/narcissistic population that is still partying and congregating, no masking, not social distancing etc.

I hope you are right, as of right now I have been told surgery by the end of April at the latest (that was 2 months ago), but am on a standby list. I will receive between 1 and 7 days notice of when the surgery is booked for and will be in ICU for a week and the cardiac ward for another.

my delivery guys wife is waiting on heart surgery as well. keeps getting strung along. she ended up with an infection in her heart valve which moved to her lungs. has been a couple weeks in the hospital but no word on surgery moving up.

my mom got lucky with her cancer stuff but is having some side effects from the removal of limpnodes. she is waiting on a specialist because if it dosnt get addressed soon she could loose use of her arm. unfortunately the specialist phone just says "closed due to covid" and none of her doctors can get ahold of them. the are "looking for other options" she also apparently should be on the list that would have ensured both her and dad were vaccinated by now but was told "a nurse removed her name by mistake" and its apparently impossible to put her name back on the list so she has to wait for the next round

Im still waiting on a reschedule for my carpel tunnel surgery but they said don't expect a call for a couple years at least.

Fun...probably not, but being out of breath when walk up a flight of stairs when you exercise 600 hrs a year really sucks. I have a blood clot that has turned to scar tissue about the size of my hand in my lungs, getting it out is an absolute necessity. Pretty rare surgery, a couple years ago it was only being performed about 300x a year in the US, only a couple hospital's in all of Canada do it today. Lucky to live close enough to Toronto General that I can go on a moments notice if a surgical bed opens up. Gonna be joining the zipper club

Ok. I was an "Anti Vaxxer" However I just did the shoppers drug mart online appt thing for my Vax. Why, I have a very close friend who is immune deficient. The thought of passing it to her is something I would not want to live with. I am not afraid of Covid. I am certain I would weather it quite well, But the health of people around me is important. So if I reduce my chance of getting or passing it to save the health of a friend. It's a done deal.

This is how most people need to think but unfortunately don’t. My mother in-law has respiratory issues so I stay as far away as possibly (not a bad thing most of the time lol) but I really try and keep my kids away. It’s hard on both but I would not want my kids to have to live with the thought that they passed the virus onto her. I don’t know that she would make it. I also don’t want that. I told my wife that as much as you think you wouldn’t, you would slightly always hold that against me if I ended up giving it to her. My brother also has immune deficiency. Both my in-laws got their first shot today thankfully

Pretty sure I had the virus last March.
Pretty sure? Your test was inconclusive?

[Stephen06GT]

You're eligible in Peel? You look good for 70+ :stickpoke:

AZ vaccine open to anyone over 50, or maybe 55.

[hammerhead]

Tentatively taking my mom and my brother on Saturday - a clinic in south peel - mom wants the shot - it all hinges on whether my bro can travel that long in his wheel chair recently released from hospital and I'm surprised he didn't get it there since he was there for more than a month - getting the pfizer which I find more comforting for her - if they offer it to me I may just let them pull the trigger and juice me....

[92redragtop]

AZ vaccine open to anyone over 50, or maybe 55.

Ah, I thought they just lowered the age to 70+ which I've been waiting to sign my dad up.

Aren't they recommending not using the AZ vaccine for 55 and under? Pfizer and Moderna seems to be the recommendation for under 55.

I have no idea and thought it was the other way around - I was almost certain that Africa rejected the astra vax long before it became an issue in other countries (but that news went quiet quick) and I believe they said it was not effective on older people and the variant - to be totally honest this whole covid thing is confusing - she does not want the astra vax - I think the astra vax is going to the mobile and drug store use because of its ease of transporting...I've been personally blocking out covid news - my mom is 78 my brother is 57 - the hospital my brother was at actually called and set up the appointment for the both of them....too many chiefs not enough vacine lol

[bluetoy]

I am not going to get Astra . Firstly it is reported as being 65% effective. Others are 90-95%. Secondly it has some blood clot risk and some deaths. So no thanks I'll wait if I have to. Although I did find out that simply being a stupid truck driver qualifies me as an essential front line worker.. Go figure.

[The Newmare]

on the waiting list for the Moderna.......

Also signed up for Shoppers, but no dates provided.

We were set to go green now locked down again because people in the cities can’t get their acts together.

Now our small town is busy as fuck with all the assholes who have once again left the big cities.

Now in another brain dead move the government has decided its more important to vaccinate all the younger idiots in Toronto instead of continuing the original plan of the older and vulnerable.

Means my mom who got pushed back once because some dumb ass nurse could not do her job properly has now been put off AGAIN for vaccination.

needless to say I’m sick and tired of constantly being screwed by this bull shit while people who can’t be bothered to actually do anything keep preaching how we are all in it together and if we just wear magic masks it will get better soon.

Rant Off.

Both Rhonda and I had our shots almost 2 weeks ago at the Wonderland clinic. Luckily I did not even have to get out of the car. We both had the Phizer shot, and neither of us had any reaction whatever. Now, in the Liberal Government's great wisdom, we have to wait till July for our followup shots. Who knows if they will be effective given that the manufacturer says 3 weeks.

yes manufacture says the shots can be spread out. this means more people can get the some form of immunity faster. should have been doing it this way from the start. the second shot only bumps the efficacy from like 80 to 94

all the vaccines are showing to give almost a 100% reduction in severity. this is the whole point, its not to stop you from getting git 100% its to make sure if you do get it. its a mild case. Stop people from dyeing

Another set of neighbours two houses down got COVID. Not sure where they picked it up - wife goes out to work (manufacturing) and husband is a school bus driver.

Ambulance has been at the house twice since Saturday but they are both back home. Early 60's and in good health previously. Very unfortunate...hope they come out without the long-term COVID effects.

[bluetoy]

Has anyone on here received the AstraZeneca vaccine? Thats the only one I'm eligible for and with all the bad press I'm wondering if I should go ahead with it. I have an appt tomorrow.

Ambulance and fire truck back at my neighbour's again this afternoon for third time since Saturday evening. This time they took both of them to the hospital in full PPE (last 2 times was just the wife but then her husband caught it). Their son who lives in the east end said they were both incoherent, extremely fatigued, and dealing with the new variant. Sad to see because they were pretty fit (tennis players)....hoping they come out of this ok.

I got the Pfizer vaccine last Thursday, just a mildly sore arm at injection site the next day. Kind of like a big bruise, After that it was gone.
My wife got the AZ shot at the beginning of April, no effects at all and she's immunocompromised.

Lisa got her first yesterday of Pfizer and my first comes Monday of the same.

The side effects that followed vaccine administration in clinical trials were mild or moderate. They included things like pain at the site of injection, body chills, feeling tired and feeling feverish.

My brother got the Astra Vax, It absolutely knocked him on his ass. His arm and wrist became tingly and his hand went numb. Next day he felt like throwing up all day, lethargic and terrible headache. About 24hrs he still felt a bit sick but it did go away. I'm not sure about taking these untested vaccines. I guess it's too late since I got it already. Supposed to keep watch for blood clot symptoms for 40 days they said.

My cell phone works much better now... lol

AZ hangover is real, and the term is 100% accurate. Tylenol helps but I'll be going to bed nice and early tonight.

“Immune Booster” is kinda the definition of a vaccine.

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease….The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it,…

Messenger RNA vaccines have gotten a huge boost with this pandemic. Fascinating technology that will have huge impact on other diseases.

And there isn’t a single anything of covid in the “ vaccines”.

So all these companies coming out with these DNA altering shots that don’t contain any virus of any sort are what exactly by YOUR definition.

As far as I’m concerned these aren’t vaccines by sciences definition.

Well the Messenger RNA vaccines that make your body produce the spike protein, it’s toxic in it self and causing a lot of harm to many people which is why there has been more deaths from this then any other vaccine trials since the early 90s.


Ironically they have toned down the cycles on testings now almost to make it look like the vaccines work…… anyways do what you want with this info. Good luck to all and stay healthy.

A few videos on the vaccine. Most vaccines in the past did contain viral fragments or deactivated virus to promote a body's response, such as the flu vaccine. The m-RNA vaccines do not have the covid virus in them. The AstraZeneca and Janssen contain an adenovirus (like the common cold) to transmit the genetic code to provide the body's response.

Second Moderna yesterday. I'm hurting today, aching all over like I have the flu without the "sickness". Low energy, low appetite, totally feels like flu without fever. Makes sense, white blood cells going bonkers I guess! First shot, only sore arm for 2-3 days.

EDIT: What a wild ride. 4th day felt 95% better. Day 1 body felt like it had flue, Day 2 body felt like it had cold (chest heavy, tight, cough, wheeze when deep breathing), Day 3 no heavy chest but mild cold symptoms). Wow...

[CON VERT]

Second shot of the big P, just got it so no after effects YET ! LOL

Sick today ! aches and chills, + stomach issues !

My wife got her second Moderna shot on a Thursday, felt like how you describe on Friday, then woke up feeling like superwoman on Saturday.

[FABMAN]

Have my 2nd shot of Moderna scheduled for Tuesday. Took Wednesday off just in case…and it’s also my daughter’s 12th birthday Wednesday so hopefully I will be good enough to help her day a good one.

I was really knocked out the day after the first shot.

[Biz]

Got my first shot of Pfizer on May 28th. Zero symptoms from the shot. Family, friends, gf all with Pfizer had very little complaints other than a sore arm. Had several friends get the Astra and they were down for the count for as little as 1 day to 3 days. Same with moderna. I don't think this is a coincidence.
I'm not eligible for my 2nd shot until the 28th but I'm 100% sure it will be Pfizer when I go.
I'm just happy both parents have both shots now (Pfizer). Maybe we can salvage this summer.

[Old Fart]

Got my first Pfizer yesterday. No adverse symptoms.

[Stephen06GT]

Just got an email from Rexall and I’m booked for my second AZ shot tomorrow.

[RedSN]

^^I thought they pulled the AZ?
I just booked for my second shot, but it will be the Moderna.

edit: AZ is still available as a second dose for those that received the first one. Alternate vaccines are also available.

[92redragtop]

Just got an email from Rexall and I’m booked for my second AZ shot tomorrow.

Is this the Bolton location? They didn't come up when I was trying to accelerate my second shot. Nearest Rexall on their site was Woodbridge or Brampton.

I got the same message when I tried to book last week in Bolton. I just checked the email again and they said I could choose AZ or Moderna.

[92redragtop]

Ah, so maybe because I selected first shot was Pfizer the platform directed me to locations that use that vaccine (ie. not Bolton).

[xeninworx]

Wife’s going for her second shot today.

[Stephen06GT]

2nd shot of AZ is in. Just waiting my 15 minutes before I leave. I had the choice of the AZ or the Moderna and I went with the AZ because that’s what I got for the first shot. I just hope the reaction to #2 isn’t as bad as it was for #1.

[92redragtop]

It's too bad that instead of side effects like 5G and magnetism with the vaccines, that we got more boost or radar detector abilities.

[bluetoy]

Okay so 16 hrs after my Moderna shot (first shot was Apr 16, it was AZ) I'm actually feeling not bad. Have a decent headache. Not feeling really anything else. Maybe slightly run down and slightly chilly but it's only 6 deg outside and the furnace is turned off. My arm hurts pretty good. This shot was up high near my shoulder. First shot was further down my arm. I'll take a couple tylenols in a hour or so once I eat breakfast. Should be good to go. Still can't get anything metal to stick to me though.

[FABMAN]

Got my 2nd Moderna shot yesterday…bit of a rough night but other than feeling tired and a achy so far so good. Glad to (hopefully) be done with this.

Update, been fighting a fever, chills, headache and lethargy all day. I just keep reminding myself that it will be all worth it.

I guess im the dirty 28% percentile

It's time the government takes the same stance and opens everything up and gets rid of the masks

Don’t know if that means you are in the 28% that have had their second dose?
Or you’re in the 28% that haven’t had a shot at all?

Yepper im also getting my second shot Monday at work ...Pfizer all the way!

[1quikgt]

Has anyone switched vaccines for their second dose? Any difference that you noticed? Had Pfizer for the first one but hard to find an appt for one. Can get one for Moderna it looks like.

I did read that by switching up to different shot second time may even give you better protection...but i don't know anything about medical stuf whatsoever...

Getting my second shot on Tuesday.

The way I heard it explained is it's like you are showing your body 2 different pictures of the virus so it can identify it better. Conceptually it makes sense to me. I'm getting one of the mRNA as my second since it is what I could book first after having AZ first. Excited for the second on July 11th, buying tickets to bad religion in November in Buffalo in the hope that everything is open. Y then.

[Nsty04SVT]

Second dose of Pfizer received last Tuesday...no side effects to report :cheers:

Risk I'm willing to take. One of my favourite bands, enjoyed every show I've been to. Apparently they are planning a Canadian tour when everything is open but who knows when that'll be.

I didn’t even know about the other 28% …

Got my second dose of Pfizer yesterday. No bad reaction, same as the first time.

It’s now 115pm and the second Pfizer is a little stronger lol. Not feeling terrible but definately feeling a little “off”. Nothing some steak and beer can’t fix I’m sure.

[Gabe]

Moderna number 2 yesterday, arm very sore, feel like I have a slight bout of the flu

[Biz]

Was able to book my second Pfizer for July 11th.
Happy to be done with this.

The highest antibody response was seen in people receiving two doses of Pfizer vaccine, with both mixed schedules producing better responses than two doses of AstraZeneca vaccine.

An AstraZeneca shot followed by Pfizer produced the best T-cell responses, and also a higher antibody response than Pfizer followed by AstraZeneca.

The results were for combinations of vaccines given at four week intervals to 830 participants.

Wow, long lineup for my second shot.

Aight. Second dose done. If I die, someone teach my wife how to drive stick so she can drive my Mustang.

[fast Ed]

Any suggestions for where to go in the west end of the GTA for a second dose without too much of a wait time? I'm just past 8 weeks from my first dose, and tonight I called the pharmacy where I had it done to ask about the second. They're telling me the doses are in somewhat short supply, and the wait list there is about 5 weeks roughly.

My wife would check every day for me as people would cancel their appointments. I could have gone on Thursday at 2:30pm but the wife wanted to be there with me. So she found a spot the other day for my appointment last night. Went to the Save Max Sports centre on Sandalwood and Dixie. If you get an appointment during the time when most people are working it’ll be quick. The later in the day will obviously be busier. Didn’t take that long though last night. Got there for my 8:25 appointment and got out by 9:03.

[RedSN]

Just like camp sites: people have several booked reservations. Cancel some when a better deal comes along.

If you’re not picky, appointments are available.

Massive line-up in the parking lot at Save Max Sports Centre yesterday around noon.

[92redragtop]

Caledon East had a lot of appointments open up yesterday for the next few days but those may be gone by now. They were not available on Monday night but were listed yesterday morning so keep checking for new listings.

[fast Ed]

Thanks guys!

[Laffs]

Second dose of Pfizer booked for Monday. Last one didnt kill me maybe this one will be different...

[RedSN]

15 minutes in the penalty box, then I’m done!

Drive-thru in Stouffville again, real slick operation they have here.

[fast Ed]

Got my second dose this afternoon at an IDA pharmacy near work, quick in and out. Moderna this time which seems to be good with the AZ I got for the first dose. YAY!!!

[mavrrrick]

Going for 2nd shot Sunday. Have heard people not feeling good after second shot. Hope I don’t get sick-holidays start Monday!! Anyone else feel like s**t after second shot?

Aside from forgetting to take off the band-aid, I'd never know I'd had the shot.
No side effects at all.

Did you have AZ as first dose? Thought they were doing Moderna for adult second doses now unless you had AZ first?

[IanGTCS]

I think it's based in supply and region. I know a few weeks ago they said adults would get moderna for their second but I think that more Pfizer arrived.

Go for my second Sunday. It's at a large church centre so I'm sure I won't feel the shot, what with my skin burning and all.
