Poll Do you plan to get vaccinated?

[sy barite]

So I got my AZ shot. No issues. Good to know that in 14 days or so I can count on pretty good protection against the virus and very high protection against serious infection.

But, the way this thing is being administered really makes me worry about how fucked up the whole organization around delivering the shots is in Ontario. Where I live I was able to get the shot within an hour of phoning at three different places. Their appointment calendar has plenty of space. So that being the case...why do we have to wait until July for the booster? Is it a different type of shot? Shouldn't they be factoring in the reluctance in the general public to tighten up the appointments? Staff were unable to comment on that.

Got the Moderna hookup last week, saw one of my faves the following day, we were good to GO!! You right though, the distribution is just messed up. One of my bros tell me he knows a lot of MPA's who've got the vaccine.

The reason being was they do not have enough supply of vaccines for every one at this moment and they want to make sure the majority of the population get their first shot as many as they can with the vaccines they have in hand.

Not according to what the guy who jabbed me said. They have lots of AZ. In fact, he said that until the age was lowered to 40 this week, they could not fill the appointments. He also said that they are throwing doses away. Each vial contains 10 doses and once opened it must be used within 2 days or it's garbage.

I did some asking today and the pharmacy assured me that as long as the government allows them to, they will be calling people back for their second dose BEFORE the scheduled time of four months. That's good, because if it's a choice between giving people their second dose or wasting the vaccine, better to get it into arms.

On another point....I had zero reaction...which from what I understand is not necessarily a good thing. You should expect at least a mild headache or other flu like symptoms as proof your body is reacting to the vaccine and hopefully will generate antibodies. It's a good idea to do the antibody test before the second dose, because if you get a negative result, there's no sense in getting the second dose.

How can you be all done? We all need 2 shots. So far as I know the two shots are about 3 months apart.

I got both within 30 days. Essential worker and all that jazz. A firefighter friend of mine told me they might have to wait up to 4 months for the second shot. That's bogus.

30 days? Is that not even faster than recommended by the drug companies? I was also told it would be 4 months, as things stand today.

Vaccination companies keep trying to tell governments 4 months it too long. But, they won't listen. Just look at Uncle Dougie. Won't listen to the people who know and blows them off. Pfizer said 30 days and they delivered.

I got my pfizer this afternoon. I don't feel anything, no pain, no side effects, nothing. I even have a hard time checking where the needle was poked.
One mpa got her pfizer yesterday and she told me she felt nausea, headache, dizzy and muscle pain within a few minutes and then diarrhea later. She even warned me not to go alone. She still couldn't lift her arm yet. I guess everyone is different.

She can just open her legs and mouth. No problem.

Women are experiencing stronger side effects to the vaccinations as they tend to have a higher immune response possibly due to estrogen.

I can't wait to feel flesh on flesh!
If it means taking the vaccine, so be it!

 

[imthedude]

You make it hard for me to dislike you. But I never want to be near you. How do you treat your own children, or how will you treat future children if you have them? Hugs and encouragement, or beat the weak out of them?

He abandons them, then insists they want it that way. Of course we can never confirm that.

Yup. My printed date on receipt is 4 months from 1st Pfizer shot.

That must be the Jizzer vaccine, not Pfizer.
