I tried to book when I got my notification for restaurant workers. I think the website crashed due to the influx of candidates logging in. So I held off for the day and now I booked for next week at VCC. Personally I'm not really in a huge rush for it, already been 15 months anyway lol...

I don't think Vancouver Community College has vaccinations going daily.

It even has a station named after it. Think most people refer to the convention center as just "The Convention Centre" or "Canada Place, the new side".

I think as long as you're not blocking traffic then you'll be fine. There are so many VPD officers just milling around trying to keep everyone in order that they could easily get tickets issued if they want. I asked the VPD officer while I was in line and he said they had that stretch of 7th Ave available for COVID parking.
VCC = Vancouver Community College. There's a skytrain station named after it...

I booked for the convention centre only to find out there was one closer to me which wasnÂ’t available at the time. IÂ’m going to call tomorrow and see if thereÂ’s still spots available

Parking was free on the streets. My appointment was at 1pm and finished at 2pm. There were at least 200 people deep in my cohort and about 15 nurse stations. Line moved fine and everyone was helpful.
It seems like they hired PNE workers to manage the queue because their name tags have the PNE logo on it.
A nice retired nurse gave me the shot. She was great. Quick and simple. It’s been about 12 hours now and my arm is starting to get sore. Time to sleep.

If there's a lesson to be learned here it's that CRS should never ask a date to meet at VCC because that will be the first and last date he'll get.

the vancouver convention centres (there's 2) are named East and West. I recall when the new one opened up, I just called it "new" and "old", ppl working at both and vancouver tourism would correct me they didn't like calling the East one "old"

If there’s anyone in the South Surrey/White Rock area, apparently the rec centre off 146/20 Ave is doing walk ins for first dose Moderna. Fiancé who works in Fraser Health got a notification as of 30 mins ago. No further info at the moment.

Considering they need to vaccinate like 30 million people, that would be 30K people sick or dead from blood clots they otherwise wouldn't get, if AZ was the only choice.

If they have the other ones available, which I doubt. Currently Covid has killed 8,342 people in Ontario out of 497,092 cases. That's 1.68% or 1,680 per 100k.
Out of 30M people, that'd be 500k+ dead.
