cancelled my appointment and tried to make an appointment for the other ones but system is down of course, called in and they're saying the notices for the mRNA shots won't come out till you're at 8 weeks.

interesting - I'll prob get an mrna notice right after i get my shot

oh well, if they want to boost me again in the fall, I'm fine with that. whatever it takes

Here's the thing with science and the NACI. They work with the best information that they have at that time.

Is it always 100% correct? Absolutely not. But they're forced to make recommendations with the information that they have.

I don't understand people who are say that they are giving mixed messages. Because science is a mixed message. It gets refined over time. It may keep the same course but it more than likely will change some.

[westopher]

That’s fair. The flip flopping from the people in charge of interpreting that message is the issue though I think. They need concise direction from NACI to be filtered through the politicians in charge of conveying that information. The conflicting messages from politicians and the NACI (who are advising politicians) is getting people stressed out. Either NACI should be giving information to the media exclusively, or politicians should be, because when they contradict each other, they are making people uncomfortable. Which is the last thing Canada needs in terms of preventing vaccine hesitancy.

[The Producer]

then they should pull the canadian AZ approval

right now they're telling me I really shouldn't get the vaccine I have an appointment for in 48 hours (but it's up to me, even though I'm totally unqualified to choose)

that's mixed messaging, or whatever you want to call it - and I don't think it's helping. my confidence in the process is pretty shot, and the naysayers and doubters get the ammunition they need to keep spreading the bad word.

i know this stuff is always changing - hell, we're the beta testers here.

This is one of those you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

Can you imagine what would happen if they pulled AZ? All the naysayers would have unlimited ammunition.

If you're going with new data, you could always switch. But AZ's test trials are valid for keeping their own brand instead of mixing.

[The Producer]

could this have anything to do with the borders? are these guys doing a little bit of pre damage control if we find out that the americans will not accept an AZ vaccine passport?

i'd be a lot more stoked about making a decision if I had the same information that the politicians have.

i'm not going to lie - I took the AZ because I wanted to protect myself and my business as soon as I possibly could. but I also was part of a movement that undoubtedly contributed to the easing of the 3rd wave. Frankly, i think there should be a little more support for the AZ crowd, both at a provincial and federal level.

tell me that our group has considerable resources assigned to us to make sure that we are as equally protected as our fellow citizens. Assure us that path we took will never result in any negative access issues, be it travel - or even domestic restrictions.

I mean - maybe this is great timing. If I had gotten the AZ shot an hour ago, I wouldn't be sitting here trying to figure out what to do.

[CRS]

It's a deeply personal choice. I don't think there is a right or wrong choice.

I am confident that whatever choice you go with, you will not have your access restricted should vaccine passports even be a thing.

[twitchyzero]

looks like one will be uploading their vaccine cards into the app, then digital database will roll out few months later

the conflicting message on the AZ stance between the province and canada is

and now we're seeing it won't be recognized when you leave the country as some predicted, cavet emptor

Our number one priority as we fight #COVID19 is keeping Canadians safe. In coordination with the U.S., we are extending restrictions on non-essential international travel and with the United States until July 21st, 2021.

@BillBlair
As we have said, the government is planning measures for fully vaccinated Canadians, Permanent Residents, and others who are currently permitted to enter Canada and will provide further details on Monday, June 21.

Thank fuck. Keep it going @bill Blair

6 months of vaccinating/90% to target and they're just now working on a border plan, waits 1 business day prior to deadline to announce extension

summer tourism season dead a 2nd year, how many businesses are on their last straw?

gotta love living in north korea

[68style]

Well... alternatively... waiting until 1 day prior allows them to have the most up to date stats to base their decision on?

Maybe should visit North Korea and report back, also show us all the photos you took while there... oh wait you can't take photos there without being arrested. Totally same.

[twitchyzero]

would love to, under house arrest since last March though

was more alluding to how the feds have brainwashed us into thinking it’s still too risky, even with 2 doses

then allow nhl teams in, that’s the kicker

also, Moderna tells us to get our shit together

Wow, did you recently take a page out of the Karen's Handbook for Hyperboles?

[twitchyzero]

is it hyperbole if we had re-education camps until not even that long ago?

we can’t even wag our fingers at the Saudis anymore lol

ask the tour operators out of at least 2 years of work how to best describe it, house arrest isn’t that far off

[Teriyaki]

Holy shit when did RS become Facebook groups/twitter. I expected better.

[CivicBlues]

You totally can take photos in North Korea as a tourist, you just have to take photos of the ruling Kims every 2nd photo

[fliptuner]

Waiting my 15 minutes, post vax, at Sunset in Van. Pretty well setup, offering all 3. I got Pfizer/Pfizer. We'll see how the reactions go, this time around. First dose I got a mild rash/hives on my forearms.

[The Producer]

i took the second AZ shot in the end. figured i would follow the manufacturers plan. if I have to boost w something else later, so be it.

no side effects

of course as predicted, got offered an mRna 9 hours afterwards

[TOS'd]

What was the general consensus on mixing mRNA vaccines? Ie. First shot was Pfizer, second shot being offered is Moderna.
