Poll of the Day > I got MODERNA..=(.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know its the same as pfizer but deep down i kinda wanted it even though i knew it was a 50/50 chance.

Hearing everyone get pfizer, i would have preferred that one especially since they had huge shipments and moderna isnt the most popular of the 2..i just hope they dont give me pfizer for the second even though they say mixing is fine. i will insist on a second moderna.

AFAIK, they normally ask what you first dose was...

Moderna. Got my second dose 11 days ago. Should be fully covered in a few days!

1) Why'd you get it so late? Especially if you were just doing one of the big two?

2) Why would you want Pfizer?

I got moderna and feel I am smarter and more superior to anyone who got another vacc type

Depending on where he is in Canada, that may have been the earliest he could. I just got mine on Friday, which was the first available appointment.

I thought Canada was on track ahead of the US? The US opened it in everybody in most (if not all states) around April. We've been vaxxing minors for maybe a month now.

The vaccine rates in Canada are up because the people in the US wont get it. Not because they have more vaccines...

We're leading on first doses now (US has 51.7%, Canada has 60.7%, as of yesterday), but still way behind on second doses (41.9% vs. 6.8%). We got off to a much slower start because we've got basically no domestic manufacturing capacity these days (closed down a couple years ago, which has turned out to be less than ideal), but with the US' rates dwindling because of anti-vaxxers and the resultant surplus of doses, we've been able to catch up. Nova Scotia has now (as of some time this past week) opened first doses up to everyone 12+, and we've been one of the slower provinces (also one of the provinces with the best case rates). I (at 32) became eligible to book my appointment on May 17. Currently, my second appointment isn't until September 17 (105 days later), but the one who gave me my shot yesterday was saying that I'll likely get an email about opportunities to move that up because the supply has generally been good enough to not have to wait that long.

As an aside, those numbers really show how ridiculous the Canadians are that have been clamouring for mask mandates to be lifted because of what the CDC said. Not even 7% of Canadians are even eligible to go maskless under those recommendations, and the vast majority of those are health care workers (who should generally be extra cautious anyway) and long-term care residents (who should also be cautious and also often aren't going much of anywhere anyway). The people saying mask mandates should be lifted for them are, by and large, full of crap, because there's very little chance they're actually fully vaccinated.

Was Bill Gates cool when he personally injected you?

Pretty sure he's not doing that, considering it's what got him in trouble with Melinda >_>

A canadian streamer I watch finally got an appointment for the vaccine like 2 weeks ago and she cried on stream because she could finally get it and potentially see her family again soon.

I follow many more canadians and they all said within the last 2 weeks they finally got appointments.

Yeah, here, 30+ opened up on May 17th, then I think it was the 20th that 25+ opened up, and the 24th for 20+. It's really just very recently that the younger demographic has become eligible, which is actually kind of questionable given how over-represented they are in essential customer-facing jobs, and how much people in those jobs have been driving outbreaks (by virtue of not having the option to stay home).

My mom also just kinda complained about that. She works in an elderly home, she, other nurses and other employees are vaccinated. Interns are early 20's and have to be there, but are not vaccinated yet and are not not considered part of the healthcare priority group.

They absolutely should be. Regardless of whether or not essential workers in a general sense are prioritized for vaccines, anyone working in a health care setting in any capacity (ESPECIALLY a care home) should be prioritized along with more formal "Health Care Workers."

The problem is that Mark and Hugo do not actually care about, or fully appreciate, the health care sector.

Thus they say the appreciate the sector, but none of the laws, regulations or funding by the government actually represent that.

Pfizer part one for me. I don't know what's the best at this point. I just asked her to stick that little prick in me.
