I'm receiving my second dose this week. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I have heard some stories about the second shot somehow having worse side effects but I'm not particularly worried.

[Obsideon]

My cousin who's a doctor in California already got his second dose, he said he's mostly sympton-free but he was extremely fatigued even after sleeping 12 hours straight.

My GF gets her second dose of Moderna today here. It'll be interesting to see if her side effects are measurably worse then the first one.

I will report.

and that has nothing to do with working in healthcare in the US right now?

Dr. Henry's explanation on why a delay in receiving the second Covid vaccine shot is beneficial for long term immunity:

https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/02...id-vaccine-bc/

“It may, in fact — and we know this from other vaccine programs and from how our immune system works — result in the end in a stronger and more long-lasting protection,” Henry said Tuesday.

She explains the first dose triggers the production of antibodies that result in increased immunity but the second dose triggers the adaptation of the body’s cellular defences through T-cells and B-cells in our blood.

“These are cells that live in our lymph node and in our blood system and they take time to fully develop and they also modify and they react to things like the protein on the outside of the virus and it’s these cells that take longer to build up but are longer lasting as well,” she explained.

We can safely delay the second dose, if needed, to make sure that our operational issues, that enough vaccine comes to be able to provide those second doses. And in the U.K. and in Quebec, they’re looking at 90 days, or three months, for the second dose,” she said, noting the initial target was to get the second dose of vaccines into British Columbians within 35 days.

Henry says most people who have taken their first Pfizer shot will get their second before 42 days.

lmao best assurance you wanna hear from the face of public health "it is what it is"

It's pretty impressive how fast UK has vaccinated their population given that they're about double the population of Canada. I guess that's the perk of having vaccine production plants within your country.

[Hondaracer]

There’s 19 countries ahead of Canada on this list and only 3 make a vaccine:

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations

And we’re begging India for vaccines when they are behind us.. lol

Libs bring up the stupid gun buy back program to distract dummies about the pathetic lack of vaccines then once every other country has had theirs and we catch up in November/December turd gonna call another election looking like a hero to people who haven’t been paying attention?

Bid for injunction against B.C. churches breaking COVID-19 rules dismissed

"I shouldn't be doing Dr. Henry's job. If she wants police to have the ability to arrest people, the order can be amended, can't it?'' he asked.

Henry told a news conference on Tuesday she doesn't know if she has the authority to add enforcement measures to her public health orders


"Given the other remedies available to the respondents, I have reservations that an injunction alone, without enforcement by the B.C. Prosecution Service, would overcome the deeply held beliefs of the petitioners and their devotee," Hinkson wrote.

He said health orders already prohibit in-person religious services and it's in Henry's and the province's powers to escalate enforcement.

"I am left to wonder what would be achieved by the issuance of an injunction in this case," Hinkson wrote.

"If it were granted and not adhered to, would the administration of justice yet again be brought into disrepute because the B.C. Prosecution Service considers that it would not be in the public interest to prosecute those who refused to adhere to the orders sought from this Court?"


About time someone had the balls to call her out on it.

Trudeau "Sorry but can you please send more vaccines to Canada. I'm sorry for asking. It's okay if you can't. Sorry again"

Religion is antiquated, they need a reality check

[Hondaracer]

Manitoba’s premier going to town on the delays on CBC right now. Said we can’t “be patient” after delay, after delay, after delay. And to have the people responsible for the vaccine distribution saying it won’t do anything to “make a fuss” about delays is crazy because people are dieing and lives are at risk every day due to delays caused by the lack of acquisition.

But hey, he’s not an epidemiologist so just stfu right?

[mikemhg]

Well as expected, she got messed up from the vaccine again.

Had to call in sick today, she's pretty feverish, lots of hot/cold temperature changes, but that's just your immune system response.

Pretty standard stuff, seems as though it's always the next day where your side effects are the most apparent. Food for thought when you get the vaccine, your following day will be the worst.

[westopher]

My wife had zero side effects from the shot. Literally zero. No fatigue, no soreness. It’s not really reasonable to say “this will go this way”
Everyone reacts differently. It could very easily be the first 5 minutes that are your worst, as you have an anaphylactic reaction, or it could be several days of felling like complete garbage, or it could just be nothing. Chances are it’s somewhere in middle garbage and nothing.

You getting kickbacks from Bonnie bro?

[CivicBlues]

Just musing based on everyone's replies here that their gf/wife got it but not them... I wonder what the gender split with the vaccine distribution is right now? Given a majority of people working in health care front lines are female (I think?), and the fact that the majority of over-80s are as well, I wouldn't be surprised if it was heavily skewed at this point.

This part boggles my mind, in April last year when they started going heavy into trying to find a vaccine Canada and by Canada I mean our Government knows we don't have the facilities to make them ourselves.

Why wouldn't you start building a lab/production facility capable of this at that point? It could have been fast tracked and would have been done, sure it would have costed a lot but who gives a fuck you're already spending hand over fist.

This is where I feel the Government fucked up the most.

I'm only repeating the issue her colleagues have also felt. Did your wife get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine? Reactions are much different between the two.

5 of her colleagues got their second shot yesterday, 4 of them called in sick to VGH today.

Could it be purely anecdotal? Of course, just reporting what I observed here, I'm not dissuading anyone from getting the vaccine, I will definitely be getting one myself when I'm finally eligible in 2023
