Yay, I received my first vaccine shot of Pfizer yesterday afternoon at the Italian Cultural Centre in east Van.
No major side effects, knock on wood, other than some soreness in my left shoulder.
A good point that is mentioned on the Ministry of Health vaccination aftercare info. sheets that I received today is about the immunization record card.
Although the government has online records of anyone receiving their first and second vaccine shots, the vaccine aftercare info. sheets remind people to bring their immunization record card with them to the clinic so that the card gets updated after they get their second shot.
The nurse was pretty chill. -said "Relaaax" to me so that I can get my left arm loosened up before the shot.
He also made some small talk after confirming some of my personal info. and telling me that he is giving me Pfizer.
"Wow, those are cool glasses". "Thanks"
"LeBron wears these types of glasses"
"Sorry, I can't hear you clearly with your mask on "
"LeBron James wears this brand of glasses"
"Wow! That's cool! What is the brand of glasses that LeBron wears?"
"Kio Yamato"
Then the vaccine shot happens.
