Wife and I both got the two shots of Moderna, with the second shot almost a month ago now. Both of us are in fairly high risk category. I had a slightly sore arm for one day after the second shot and her arm was quite sore for two days after the second shot. Otherwise, we've had no detectable after effects thus far. We decided to split the difference as to what getting the shot signifies: so one of us is a blithering idiot who cannot think on his own and the other a sainted martyr for the cause of prudence and community health. There is no room for being a reasonable person who made a thoughtful choice based on credible information and our specific health conditions. Not on the Campfire anyway!

My wife got hers the other day. No issues. Second shot in 3-4 months. Was told I can get mine in a few weeks. Other than age I'm not sure why I have to wait as I am diabetic. I don't have any concerns with getting the shot. I have had so many vaccinations during my life that have me asking, "What's one more?" I received stuff as a kid in the early 70's prior to moving to Turkey then during my 26 years career in the Canadian Armed Forces. I think the quality controls today, even wrt the Covid vaccine, are much better than they were in 1972 regarding manufacturing etc. I was a Medic my entire career, the square needle treatment was reserved for guys who pizzed off the Medics LOL. Did Cornwallis in Sept-Nov 79. Needle parade then brutal PT sucked! Jeff

Booked mine today ! Lemmings r’Us !
I’ve been Type 2 diabetic for about 17 years, recently adding slow insulin pokes to my regimen of oral meds. Not sure if that makes me Type1 or not, but it changed nothing with my vaccine scheduling !
Age is the single biggest risk factor for negative outcomes with Covid 19.
Variants are my concern. I’m hoping the 4 month booster addresses them.
Good Luck All !

I think you're still a T2. A few friends had long acting added to their nighttime regimen to keep their blood sugar regulated overnight.
WRT the shot, he doctor told me that she wasn't sure when the second shot would happen, but that my family doctor's office would call. It's been three days, and no ill effects. I was concerned that my arm might ache, but it didn't. I'll be off to the range during the week coming.

My wife and I got out first shots of Pfizer this morning. No soreness in the arm or side effects.
The pharmacist said it could be up to 4 months for the 2nd shot. When I questioned the increased separation beyond the manufactures test data he said there is not much that can be done as supply is the issue and they are trying to get ahead of an increasing number of infections from variants -- so essentially trying to stop another wave.

Nothing screams efficacy like letting supply issues dictate best practices.

Well , actually following the federal Liberal narrative. The extended interval has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics Plus they have no evidence that it will or will not help with the ‘variants’

Hi, I would like to join the Covid Cult! Haven’t you heard? It’s all the rage these days. Untold millions of people worldwide are letting strangers that they don’t know and mad scientists that want to depopulate the earth inject them with substances that they know nothing about. Count me in! It doesn’t matter that all other vaccines took years to develop, the Covid shots are a product of operation “warp speed”; Trump and “Q” told me so, so it’s the real deal! I trust “the Plan”! After my endless rounds of vaccines for a virus that has a 98% survivability rate, I will finally be able to get together with small groups of family/friends (although 6’6’6’ social distancing and triple masks and hand sanitizing stations are just common sense for our backyard BBQ)! After my Bill Gates gene and DNA alteration I will finally feel like I am included with my clueless fake friends. I will finally be in lock-step with all the Hollywood celebrities and politicians that I adore and venerate! Maybe if I comment on their Twitter account they will reply to me!

The Liberal government has really let Canadians down and has cost lives with their actions / inactions. Now the media is supporting the notion that one shot for everyone by July means that Trudeau kept his promise. What a pile of horse turds --- vaccination means complete of the 2 shot regime unless you get J&J which is not yet approved for use in Canada. On the evidence that it will or will not help with variants a person is better off doing their own research on this --- which vaccine was tested in which country and when, which countries are using or not using which vaccine --- it is a roll of the dice but there is information out there if you look, weed through all the gibberish and do not pay attention to the media. Read the medical papers even ones that have not yet been peer reviewed.

So, the conspiracy theorists, industrial and corporate fear mongers cannot resist posting what they believe, when the simple question was, did you get the shot?

Read the medical papers even ones that have not yet been peer reviewed. Yes agreed on everything. My estimation is that the Pfizer-BioNTech is the way to go if you have a choice. Yes I like the ‘all vaccinated’ narrative. No 1/2 vaccinated. Maybe less depending on how well the interval works, or doesn’t. It is what it is All the best

Not eligible yet. And because someone discussed/evaluates or thinks about their health and their family ‘s health doesn’t make them conspiracy theorists or fear mongers . Just an FYI

Once again, does your dog have all it's shots? Interesting question --- lets go the risk analysis route. Dog My dog is a hunting dog and is in the field a lot. So exposures to ticks, parasites, fleas, cuts that get infected -- are all common. As are exposures to speargrass, foxtail, tussles with muskrats, mice, squirrels (all ending badly for the rodent) and exposure to thorns (Buffalo berry being the worst so far) and toxic weeds. So I value my dog and keep him on shots and meds for deworming, ticks, fleas, rabies, do physical inspections after every outing and do routine follow ups with the vet on his health. If my dog was not an active field dog I would knowingly pull back on his shots as the risks would be lower. Me I am older, have had polio in my back which affects lung capacity, have a heart condition that requires management, have a history of cancer in the family, have a history of re-occurring pneumonia and have doctors that have recommended certain courses of action for me to manage my lifestyle risks. One of the recommendations from my heart specialist was to get vaccinated. So risk management says I am in the categories that would be susceptible to problems should I catch the virus. Now if I was younger and in good health my decision would be more like our children who are choosing to be lifestyle safe and watch for a bit longer. So this decision is a personal one everyone has to make on their own. I am not pushing my views down on our kids --- make them aware of information and where to do good research then they can make their own decision based on the risks in their lives.
