The relevance here is actually that I am a Canadian simply reporting in here for the benefit of any compatriot who may be wondering about options, given the present procurement & perforced 4mo dose-spacing debacle that's playing out in Ottawa.

I'd suggest "The Maple Leaf" group description that has been the same for the 15 years I've been on this forum needs to be updated then. Last I looked it was supposed to be all about off topic conversation between folk where they can have fun and engage.

Re: Coronavirus
A Quebec woman who received the AZ vaccine has died due to a clot, 54 years old.
I wont lie, even with the 1 in 100,000 chance the article mentions, its still a worry, I probably should have waited, the anxiety this is causing during the few weeks of highest risk is getting to me... |

The threat of covid is far greater and when you look at the success of the vaccine elsewhere it is our best and fastest path back to a more normal existence. |

Odds are on my side, just worrying is all, especially with a headache that just wont go away, but doctor said its nothing, so I will take the doctors word that it is nothing, I assume they know what they are doing. |

This is out of respect for the members, moderators and policy involved. A gentle nudge, for the above site rules. That said, this is the Maple Leaf, and not the main Canadian forum where the "serious" topics are reserved for, so related thread drift is allowed as a fluid dynamic that threads go, especially long standing threads, with the usual caveats of no posting of illegal content, threatening behaviour etc, etc and all that good stuff :) |

Re: Coronavirus
With 70% of Pt. Roberts vaccinated now, the fire chief wants to help vaccinate BC, if he can get state, federal and Canadian governments to permit it.
https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...s-to-canadians The idea would be people would only be permitted to drive, would remain in their cars the entire time, get shot, then return back to Canada. The article doesn't mention it, but yesterday it was reported it would be limited to US Citizens living in BC and Canadian's who own property in Pt. Roberts to start out with. 75% of property owned in Pt. Roberts is owned by Canadians. BC currently has roughly 35% of the population with at least 1 dose. |

Nobody I know has had to pay to be vaccinated, I certainly did not.
I only have had one test and that was free but that seems a different situation as some you certainly pay for. I'm a senior on medicare with a supplemental. So while they state the vaccine is free, it would appear that medicare billed my supplemental insurance and was reimbursed for the vaccine. Covid-19 vaccines are free to consumers and vaccination providers because the federal government paid manufacturers to produce and deliver vaccines.Apr 16, 2021 |

So, in essence, & apart from the pharmacist's (private-sector) time to administer it, I basically got vaccinated out of the U.S. taxpayers' (your) trash bin, for which I am, honestly, thankful. So thanks.
Didn't say you did and yes, it is great that you got it. It is definitely a must-do thing for all people in the US. I know too many people here in the south still waiting for themselves to become eligible to get the vaccine. It took my sister and brother-in-law in Florida 8 weeks to finally schedule an appointment and then one of them had to cross the width of Florida to get it. |

"The news comes as the United States continues its effort to vaccinate as many Americans as quickly as possible. The CDC reported Sunday that 95 million people -- about 28.5% of the population -- have been fully vaccinated.3 days ago" According to Canada: "The prime minister says 30 percent of eligible adults in Canada have received at least one vaccine.5 days ago" |
