Re: Coronavirus
My MIL tried all weekend by phone and never was able to get through. After a very painful and difficult phone call where she read the uber long website link character by character, I was able to book online for her, website seemed to work fine, but earliest appointment for her in Squamish was mid June, which isn't bad, about 75 days from her first dose.
OH called to make his appointment this morning. He only waited on hold for 10 minutes. Now he has an appointment for the 17th June ............ but it's at the Conference Centre downtown.
That's about as far as you can go from our place, and little parking!

Re: Coronavirus
Only if 60% of people have received 1 dose of vaccine.. presently the percentage is 51% - and public health indicators, such as hospitalizations, ICU occupancy and new admissions and case rates indicate the province can safely move to this step of the roadmap -- so fingers crossed! The dip in numbers is hopefully a good sign

Re: Coronavirus
As of yesterday evening 57% of people in Ontario had received at least one dose. 65% of those over 12.
We are ahead of vaccination targets for the lockdown removals.
The number of people in ICU is still very high though.

Re: Coronavirus
Always seems to work that way, home on one side of a city and an appointment on the total opposite side...
I'd imagine since Moderna and Pfizer are similiar vaccines that those under 18 accidently receiving it probably wont lead to any issues, but maybe some retraining on the part of staff is needed to remind them moderna isn't approved for 12-17 year old's yet.

Hopefully by fall Canada will be 60%-70% fully vaccinated, we still lag on the fully vaccinated by quite a large gap compared to the US.

Re: Coronavirus
I now have an appointment to have my 2nd jab on June 23 out at UBC, which is pretty close to home, and we know about all the parking as our medical clinic is out there.
OH did it for me, got on the phone almost immediately, but had some problem with the call centre woman who kept asking for more information. I finally went on the other phone, and proved to her that I couldn't hear her

Re: Coronavirus
That's where we had to the first jab ....... it was weird being in a huge casino building, with theatre, dance floors etc, and the only visible clue was a hallway leading off the entrance hall with rows of flashing lights on one-armed bandits!

Re: Coronavirus
Our son is getting his 1st jab at an indoor football complex in Toronto in a bit over a week..it would be his 2nd home if he could choose it. His sister had it a week ago there and she thought it would be a cruel place for her brother to get his jab as he hasn't been able to play football for more than a year.

Re: Coronavirus
Do you have a link to the announcement you mention regarding the 67%? I can't find any mention on the Govt. website nor on her Twitter account.
Edited to add apparently she is going to make an announcement at 12pm 1st June: https://news.ontario.ca/en/advisory/...l-announcement
Fingers crossed!

Re: Coronavirus
Newfoundland has vaccinated 60.6% of the population eligible (Roughly 480k) for vaccines with one dose. Apparently we're vaccinating 1% of that population per day. Vaccination is extending down to 12 year olds - my 12 year old has an appointment in a couple of weeks. I'm hopeful that improved supply will allow the acceleration of second doses from the automatic 16 weeks after the first to somewhere nearer 12. We'll see.
There's a couple of cluster outbreaks - Indian variant - but they seem to be under control. Most of the province is under alert level 2 which is where we've been for most of the pandemic - schools open, restaurants & shops open with limited capacity etc. This feels like a new normal to be honest. Attention is now on whether we'll open the provincial border this summer. The tourism industry is desperate to do so, but there is a fair amount of public opposition.
