I come home on Sunday from the track to get the inlaws to their 2nd dose appt
It will be nice to have them fully vaccinated.
I do find the 2nd dose roll out to be slightly chaotic. At 97 years old they are 2 of 100 000 people in canada in that age bracket. But because they live independently they are classed with everyone else. Over 5 000 000 people in Canada will have gotten the 2nd dose before them.
But I am glad that they will get it and get it soon.

Moderna second shot (Tuesday) kicked my ass for 2 days. Woke up yesterday feeling better. Today I feel human again.
I’m not one to take tylenol…but I’ve had my fair share these last few days.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Yep I feel terrible, but passed the screening. Office is a ghost town.
I get it that the entire system is being rushed now in an attempt to get second shots in arms (and therefore the increased protection against Delta they're racing against the clock to achieve), but yeah, the system seems to be crumbling.
I heard on the news this morning that there's a crapton of appointments with no shows in Toronto every day because people have booked multiple appointments and were too lazy to cancel the old ones. How this is possible to begin with baffles me - it would seem there should be some checks and balances that cancels a future appointment if a new one is made earlier, or at least goes out of it's way to verify/remind someone of an existing appointment with a simple opt-out option if they no longer need it (IE, "Click here to cancel!") so that appointment could be given to someone else.

There are, at least for the provincial system - when I changed my appointment for the first shot - my old one was automatically cancelled.
But there are million ways to book an appointment and million systems, it's hard to integrate all of them.
That does sound really poor. After #2 yesterday I asked if I needed to cancel my August 13 (automatically) booked appt. and was told that it was cancelled when yesterday's appt. was booked.
Yes, when I rescheduled mine to last Thursday my July appointment was automatically cancelled as well, but it seems like some booking systems are not so savvy, and/or people are just openly abusing them by feeding them fake info just to secure an appointment or something and then walking away from it when something preferential comes along.
Here's the story in question.

How are you feeling after the second shot?
I’m do tomorrow for my second Moderna.
Hopefully it’ll be very little side effects cause Need to be in Sudbury on Sunday night
Overall I'm feeling fine. Slight headache, and a bit of a chill. Tired but that's more due to my ******* neighbour getting a monster load of gravel delivered just after 7 this morning with the requisite airhorn blast to announce arrival.
Good luck tomorrow and your upcoming trip.
I would expect to be pretty crappy on Sunday.
I had my second Moderna last Thursday and felt tired and a bit crappy at around the 24 hour point, and then was perfectly fine the day after that.
Not everyone gets hammered as much as others.

I think the provincial booking website works reasonably well. It can be better - it would be great to see the next available appointment at any location, and not to jump between them trying to find one, but overall I had a good experience. Maybe because I was not trying to book the appointments at the peak loads, but waited for a couple of days after they opened up for the next group - I was the one booking all appointments for my family.Did the system ever work in the first place??
I can't believe it is this hard to organize it. Yet our gov it working tirelessly
Hurray. I booked my MRNA after AZ for a Friday morning. Hopefully by monday I will be functional.
Did the system ever work in the first place??
Yeah, I think it did for the most part - it didn't crash in the first 24 hours as I suggested it might, and it seems to be getting the job done as we're having some amazing record-making days (200,000 a day on some days which is frankly a logistical miracle) so there's that.
It just seems like there's some holes that need to be filled so far as rescheduled/cancelled reservations not being reopened properly, but as I mentioned, I suspect there's a segment of the population who are jacking the system.
