Just curious what others thought. I am not eligible to book my second yet, my first was P. But I know others who are eligible and they just got an email saying they will be getting M (P was their first dose).

mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
NACI recommends that, if readily available, the same mRNA COVID-19 vaccine product should be offered for the subsequent dose in a vaccine series started with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. However, when the same mRNA COVID-19 vaccine product is not readily available, or is unknown, another mRNA COVID-19 vaccine product recommended for use in that age group can be considered interchangeable and should be offered to complete the vaccine series. The previous dose should be counted, and the series need not be restarted.
(Strong NACI Recommendation)

I thought you just show up and get whatever they have.

Although the mRNA shots are mostly identical afaik between P and M, I can foresee that other countries will not be as forgiving and "loose" with the rules as we have been even if that data says it's safe.
Possible that some countries will go 100 percent by the book and only recognize those with 2 of the same shot as "fully vaccinated".

My mom went for her second shot at River Rock in Richmond and she said they checked her card when she went in and there were 2 separate lineups… one for people who had Moderna and one for people who had Pfizer.

Just booked my dad for shot# 1 at Vancouver Italian Cultural Center for July. I haven't really been following the vaccine aspect, so whatever they have that day they have to take it? My dad is one of the fucking assholes that is adamant on Pfizer, so how he can ensure he gets that?

Unless he gets a text like above you won’t know until you go.
By all means at this point if he wants pfizer I’d say tell them to cancel on site and then he can rebook

I got Moderna a few months ago and had no issues.
Most likely though they will give him Pfizer.

I went to convention center yesterday for my second vaccination. It was 10 weeks after the first vaccination. The computers at convention center had a glitch so they had to manually register the patients. Took about 80 minutes from lining up to leaving after the 15 minutes resting period.
At the registration, they check which one you got as your first vaccine. Then line up at the pfizer line or moderna line.

How are anti-vaxxers explaining the dramatic drop in cases as a result of the effectiveness of vaccinations? I mean the cases are down to like ~50/day now.

Otherwise, you can just listen to Bonnie Henry.

Not to mention Bonnies statements often have conflicted with the national vaccine teams statements. Provincial health officers have tried to downplay the seriousness of some effects such as the AZ blood clots until higher powers essentially force their hand to act otherwise etc.
Not to say she hasn’t done well, but just blindly listening to her drone on day in day out is doing yourself a disservice imo.
Also all this talk of mixing vaccines, if you search articles coming out of medical journals and hospitals in the states the general consensus seems to be mixing is only “in the most exceptional circumstances” yet we try and quote a small sample size study that it’s fine and just shut up and take whatever shot you’re given :/

lol I'm not perpetuating that Bonnie Henry should be idolized, I donno why her name is being specifically mentioned as some form of counter argument to antivax.
Feel free to make your own decisions, but when the general consensus of people who are, you know, doctors, to do something - I think I'll go with what they say.
To be clear, I fully respect Hondaracer's stance in this thread because his points and arguments are still within the realm of reason. My distaste is towards the full out crazies that drink the anti-vax koolaid based off of a youtube video some guy in a basement wearing a labcoat put together, as if somehow that supersedes actual science.
