Just as an FYI, if people didn't know, there's a BC Government developed app specifically for health services.

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/g...g-in-with-card

It essentially pulls from a database of your health records, including most if not all medical history you have in BC. Shots, doctors visits, prescriptions, anything where your PHN was used, is accessible through the app. It also apparently updates in real time to when your estimated second shot will be. They're also working to get Lifelabs/BC Bio lab results, so that's probably useful as well.

There's a somewhat silly verification process where you have to send a video of yourself following prompts in the app before you have access, and it takes a few hours to verify because apparently it's all done by humans - but I guess that's a good thing for security.

This stuff is already accessible through the website (with the same verification requirements), so it's not any more of a security risk than what is already online, and if you're worried about big brother spying on your phone, wait until you hear about FB/IG/Tik Tok.

Again, it's just a FYI thing if you're interested - I found it pretty cool.

I told everyone on r/vancouver this last night and got 250+ upvotes. Not sure why you're being ignored here.

Btw you can also login thru this site which also basically tells you what you get to see. I can see all my medical records from 2000 onwards including my COVID shot and the projected 2nd shot date:

got Pfizer yesterday in Coquitlam.
whole thing took 1 hour, longer than i expected.
my appointment was 7:30 but after waiting in line, got my shot little after 8.
funny no one even asked if I had appointment or what.
It was like walk in.
I guess, now that everyone is eligible, they don't care anymore

Because RS only has 4 active members now :troll::okay:

But now I know who you are on reddit! I saw your post and just thought I'd share, it's actually useful.

Hondaracer 05-19-2021 12:57 PM

I used to see CB on Reddit until I got banned from the r/Vancouver.. lol

CivicBlues 05-19-2021 01:02 PM

^what was your username?

bwahaha yes I'm one of those chumps who uses the same username across platforms. I think I've also seen Great68 or 68style (sorry I can't tell you two apart) on r/vancouver too. I made alts eventually but too lazy to switch between them/don't care.

punkwax 05-19-2021 02:23 PM

I saw one of CB’s post on Reddit too. Think about the Burnaby shooting IIRC. Figured there could only be one.

underscore 05-19-2021 02:39 PM

I got mine today, there weren't any empty stations and there was only a couple people waiting at a time so they seem to have set the flow nicely. My arm is a little sore but that's it so far.

3 of my coworkers aren't getting it for odd reasons as well. "I don't see a benefit to it" and "I don't trust the news". I don't even know how to respond to that.

westopher 05-19-2021 02:46 PM

Lol like “the news” developed the vaccine.

Depends on your boogaloo situation…………. “Clap for the Wolfman.” (Wolfman Jack) by The Guess Who.

Haven’t heard that word in a long time. Yes, the Boogaloo was popular back in the day, lol.

I’m just referring to the musical term and not the one used by far right nutjobs.

Definitely seen you on there :lol Was curious if that was you.

China doing 7.5 MILLION vaccines per day. They'll be at 75% vaccinated in 4 months at this rate

Yeah a lot of places are doing that, at least on the east coast, seems like a great idea tbh, always thought drive ins were cool

Another case of the Canadian government announcing one thing only to have to reverse it immediately. Did somebody not check with US authorities first? So damn embarrassing...

Looks pretty decent! Better than having dim sum on tables set up in a parking lot...

Yeah but which vaccine are they using?

The legit ones or the home brewed ones that have terrible efficacy?

westopher 05-20-2021 06:48 AM

China is also reporting they have only had 90000 covid cases throughout the whole pandemic so I’ll take numbers about anything to do with this virus coming from them with a grain of salt.

320icar 05-20-2021 07:40 AM

Just a grain?

westopher 05-20-2021 07:50 AM

An industrial sized tub of Maldon sea salt.

vitaminG 05-20-2021 07:59 AM

Looks like Canada changed their mind about bypassing quarantine if you get vaccinated in the states as well

Canadians who cross border for vaccine must quarantine on return, Ottawa says

No one remembers they did this at White Spot?

westopher 05-20-2021 08:09 AM

But then you have to eat white spot.
