Had my shot on Wed. Didn't feel well on Thurs and parts of Friday.
Saturday, I was well enough to go out but still felt headaches come and go.
Pretty much recovered fully Sunday. Can still feel pain in my arm if I touch the injection spot, but no pain from mobility.

They don’t just allow things like stampede to happen and cross their fingers.

If numbers are still sustainable, then sure. But if you're seeing a sudden 400% spike then mayybe you should've eased into it a bit more.

Yah I would never use Alberta as an example of how to handle literally anything these days… from pandemic mandates to economical ones to government decisions… they’re the very definition of a tire fire over there.

There shouldn't be a shortage of shots at the moment.
Pfizer had a delay 2-3 weeks ago but it has been since resolved.

I just got my Pfizer shot, and my 5G is at full bars.
As others have stated, people were getting the shot they got first. Unless AZ, then it's Moderna.

Got my 2nd shot of Pfizer last Wed. Not much side effects, just a minor headade and slept for 9 hours nonstop.
I have a friend that insist on Pfizer. Does anyone know any centres that will give Pfizer for first shot? A lot of centers will give u choice of P or M for your second dose. And I heard there was a center in Surrey that gave all 3 choices of A/P/M regardless if its your 1st or 2nd shot. But that was last week
Any new data points on being able to choose Pfizer for first shot? Want to get this fxxker vaccinated.

First dose people don't need to make appointments to get their vaccines. So one potential way this guy might be able to get his Pfizer is to just show up at any one of the vaccination centers, ask if they have Pfizer on hand. If they do, he gets jabbed. If it doesn't, he walks.
I wouldn't agree that is a good way to do it, esp when Moderna has been billed to be essentially as effective as Pfizer. Realistically, a person really shouldn't be picky between Moderna and Pfizer at this point.

Moderna and Pfizer are the same technology so I don't understand why someone would choose P over M except for the fact that one is a bigger brand name and because of "internet rumours"
edit: i got 2 doses of Moderna, feels great

| Also it's a bit misleading, the WHO is calling the TREND dangerous, not the actual mixing of vaccines.

After WHO and Tedros' massive efforts to repeatedly and continually cover up for China during the start of the pandemic, their credibility -- and esp Tedros' credibility -- have totally gone down the toilet. It doesn't mean we should specifically go against their recommendations -- it just means they no longer have any credibility, and we need to rely on our own government agencies to examine and verify the available data to determine what is the most appropriate course of action to take.

Lol.. I don’t disagree but this thread has had so much flip flopping from the beggining
People had their panties in a bunch when trump said basically fuck the WHO we’re pulling out, everyone was all over that saying what an idiot bla bla bla
Now everyone Against the WHO and saying you can’t trust them etc.
All I know is I’m glad I got two of the same shots, and I would have walked otherwise.

Wasn't thrilled at that but whatever, it is what it is. Show the girl the card of my first vacc. shot, she gives me the form to fill out and then I stand in line. There were quite a few people waiting zig zagging back and forth. After 10 minutes another girl sees me and tells me that I have a yellow form filled out which is for people getting their 2nd shot who had Pfizer the first time so I should be in the Pfizer line up. What the hell... thanks for telling me there's a separate line up, a line containing 4 people. Was a bit surprised to see how many people were waiting just to get a first dose.

That was the same at Fortius, they asked at the front before ID which shot you had first, if you got Moderna you got a yellow slip and went into a different line

If you're there for drop-in, but getting your #2 shot, they have no problem offering Prfzer too. But they were strict - if you're there for #1 regardless if you had an appointment or not, you're only getting Moderna. That's why every centre is a little different and totally up to how the supervisor runs it. Quote:

Least I can do is maybe point him to a centre that's more lenient and flexible and get his ass vaccinated. 
1.5mil dose of Moderna arrived last Fri, but we're also getting another 1.4mil dose of P in the next 7-10 days. So hopefully that would help soon.
