Anyone tried to get vaccinated by standing by at the clinics/community centre at the end of the day?
Pfizer gets thrown out if not used in time, so they give shots to non-qulaifiers instead of throwing them out.
Not sure if that happens in York or Toronto as well.
Or do they have a specific people already listed for the left overs? (Family and friends of the health workers etc?)

There’s a sorry that released today, reported by Dr Warner from Michael Garron Hospital.

It’s a grim story of a healthy 40 something who died.

It’s in CBC and cp24.
To be honest I’m pretty sure this case is being circulated Nation-wide to outline the need to get the vaccines out to the field and not just at mass vaccination sites.

It can be found via google

Saw the story. Super sad. I'd be happy to wait and let the people who are essential workers, front line, etc get their shots first.

I signed up for Rexall for when it is mine turn and they had an option where they ask if you could be there in a hour if they call you.

Was at First Markham Place over the wkend to pick up some food in the food court for my parents ...

Not only are there CRAY lines for 2 BBQ places, but, anecdotally .. I noticed about ~5 people that were double-masking (2x the number of strings going to their ears, obvi.)

My brother volunteers at the Brampton Soccer Centre vaccination clinic, if they have any left at the end of the day they give them to whoever is around. Janitors, Admins, whoever. They would rather give it to someone than throw it away

I didn't know that but it makes sense. Only snag is how do you book your 2nd shot after?

Same here. I don't mind staying home all summer. I'm not the traveller type so i'm not missing that aspect of life. I much prefer to be not sick, but maybe I'm just nuts. I'm good with ordering food and eating at home and now that the weather is getting better ordering and eating in the backyard. I've become use to just being home and only going out for groceries. And besides, a few people over in the backyard this summer sitting 6ft apart isn't too horrible imo.

Are they testing more or less than us? (Positivity rate would be a better indicator)

As well, curious as to what their vaccination rate is (I'm sure it's ways ahead of the rate we're going).

US may've started slow to curb this, but they are doing it faster than us and may come out ahead (despite suffering a much larger casualty).

i was just talking to a guy in texas, he said vaccines are rolling, masks are going away.

Apparently america is vaccinating 3m people per day. They could do all eligible canadians in a week

So what's the deal with getting a vaccine at end of day so they aren't thrown out? How easy is it to get one of those, which kind is it (do they tell you)?

It's not that easy to get a freebie jab. They probably have maybe 2 or 3 at the most at the end of the day and it goes to towards the staff who work at the clinic (janitor, front desk workers, staff who work in a building but not directly with the clinic). If you had gone to the clinic in mid-March, it was easier to get one.

The clinics only administers Pfizer or Moderna. AztraZenca is administered at pharmacies.

My postal code is neighbouring one of those selected areas and nearly all of us shop/school/part time work there. If I lived 3 houses down I could book...if I was 45+




And another full lock down starting tomorrow

The media did a great job to scare the bejesus out of me and it's enough for me not want to get AZ.

Nonetheless, the important thing is that your mom got the shot.

My parents got Pfizer last week.
Maybe because it was Good Friday (Apr 2), lots of slots were open to book, and I did it for them on Mar 31.

Ya, I want to get Pfizer too.
Even just for the 90% efficacy.



Many spots available at Wonderland today between 2pm-4pm (59 slots). Not sure which one they use.

Dropped into Costco ... Ghost town ... they've spent a ton of time shifting products to block off the middle of the shop (clothing), and tons of aisles had stuff blocked off with moving wrap ...

So yeah, they've learned from the bickering from the 2 previous lockdowns re: essential vs non-essential items in stores.

lol, so they are open for knock off candies and drinks?


Hope those small business owners are happy now since they got the upper hand.
At lesat people can call those small stores and pick up an item curb side.
How would one buy a pen from Costco or Dollarama now?

More photos/vids of this fuckery at Dollarama, Walmart, Costco, etc, here:

Though, TBH, this was supposed to be how it should've been implemented during the first 2 lockdowns, no? Retarded, but the way it was to be?

this is the problem, media and people using that as their sole source of info

I was listening to a podcast the other day where they said how the media blew it out of proportion and now we have people waiting and being choosy about which vacinne to get DURING A PANDEMIC

He basically said we should be taking the first one that's available so that we can get this under control

I bet more people died in a car crash going to work in the last week then those who got the vaccine lol
