Does that give you a better shot at a second dose if vaccine becomes more readily available? The second shot times were spread out to allow more to get the first jab. The optimal time for an individual is different from the optimal time for the general public when vaccine is in short supply.

I GOT my SHOT
- Thread starter nobbie48
- Start date
There is no known optimal time. There was a tested interval based on prior experience (21 or 28 days depending on vaccine). In the interest of expediency, the trials to determine optimal interval have not yet been conducted (and I don't know if they are planned). After a shot plus two weeks, almost nobody ends up in hospital. That's what's important in my books. The second shot may lengthen the protection period or may reduce you to asymptomatic from mild symptoms. That is helpful but much less important for right now imo.
Helped my cousin sign up today....3hrs wait time since I started. Thousands and thousands of people in the system at once.

My guess is a hiccup in updating to match the criteria the back end uses with whatever the government says are the rules of the day for your postal code.
Got AZ this morning. That pharmacy can't keep them in stock and will be out this morning. They don't know when they will get more but apparently not this week.
I hope you get one soon, i heard the 5th variant is more serious than the 1st second third and forth put all together

This was the peel health site, I fit the criteria, but as soon as I put in the healthcard info it starts throwing up errors, I tried the william osler's website as well, they're booked solid for most locations...one location that seemed to have appointments available wont take me because they only serve certain postal codes, (not my'n even though Im in a hotspot)
Will try the provincial site next

@bigpoppa the Halton health unit site asks if you have a health card and if you say no, it allows you to enter other identification like a passport instead (other options are available too but I forget what they are)...are you able to try something other than your health card? I also found this site, but haven't tried it...

Get ready for your second shot third shot and booster shot and every year shot..... any sucker who thinks this was going to end soon is getting a rude awakening. I hope the people will start rebelling soon against this idiocy.

BioNTech Founders Expect Covid-19 Pandemic to Last Until Mid-2022
The surge of coronavirus infections in developing countries amid a relative scarcity of vaccine supply means the pandemic will keep spreading until mid-2022, according to the inventors of the first Covid-19 vaccine authorized in the West.

I don't expect it to "end" as in it is eradicated. I do expect that at some point it will become like the flu where it flares up and you can can decide whether to get a yearly booster to help your odds. Once you get a significant portion of the population with antibodies (either through infection or vaccination), the explosive outbreaks should stop, variants should develop less often (eg one bad one every few years instead of a bad one per month) and life moves back towards normal.Get ready for your second shot third shot and booster shot and every year shot..... any sucker who thinks this was going to end soon is getting a rude awakening. I hope the people will start rebelling soon against this idiocy.

Just got the shot! Pfizer. 14 days until I turn into a zombie 
?
So the gov's booking system is a complete joke. Just another example why our gov needs to be voted out. I only got the shot because I went to the dentist today and my hygienist told me about the one in our area her kids went to, no line up, Pfizer.
Hope you all are having better success at this!

They exist, we just interact and see them less.
Receptionist at my work refuses to get a vaccination, she claims COVID is a CCP (chinese communist party) bioweapon and they will just release another one anyways. Answer took me by surprise, I didn't have a response.

Had my astrazenica shot a week ago... 15 weeks to go before second shot... sigh..
I had pretty much zero side effects. Out of the 8 other people I know who had the AZ, I fared the best. 1 person had mild symptoms, 1 had annoying symptoms, the other 6 had the full on chills, fever symptoms etc.

I'm hearing there's still a fair percentage of the population in the USA that's opposed to getting vaccinated. There always seems to be a lot more mistrust of anything controlled by governments down there. I'd like to see if any of them changed their minds after going to India for a week to help out in the healthcare system there.
We make our choices to either get it or not and there's potential consequences attached to either choice. I'm glad I got vaccinated. I'm prepared to accept any potential side effects. I'm not prepared to walk on egg shells form here on by not getting a vaccination - no thanks!
