Well, my perseverance finally paid off!  I'm scheduled to get round one of the vaccine soon.

Excellent, PD!

My system has taken Dose # 2 in stride.

I had my first AstraZeneca yesterday. The (test & )vaccination center was incredibly busy with hundreds of 65+ citizens getting in line, waiting before and after the jab. An unusual and somehow unsettling spectacle....
It feels good, though.

I'm glad that you received your first shot.  Surprised though that they had all of these people lined up.  Were there no appointments set up?  Or just that it was at a huge place?

Excellent.

Had it today I'm happy to report.

As I mentioned, I had my first shot yesterday (Moderna).  Didn't notice any side effects yesterday but this morning I awoke to finding that my shoulder was pretty sore.  A bit of a challenge to work out in the garden.  Hopefully, it will go away soon.

Good news

Just had my first AstraZeneca vaccine today. Round two is slated to be in about four months.

It is huge, but the organization was good. Plenty of stewards & help:

Excellent! That is good news. My wife has had both shots (Oxford/AZ) but I'm waiting for No.2

"Graham is one of about 6,000 unlucky people in the United States who were fully vaccinated against the coronavirus but have been diagnosed with what epidemiologists call "breakthrough cases." These infections are rare and entirely expected; the three vaccines cleared for emergency use provided robust protection in clinical trials, but they aren't perfect."

It's rare and expected, but some fully vaccinated people are catching COVID-19

Four months!  That sounds like an awfully long time.  Glad that you received your first one though.

Glad that it was well-organized.  Was it just a case of first-come-first-served until they ran out of doses?  Here, as far as I've heard lately, it's all by appointment--even for the large mass vaccination sites.

Here too it's 4 months  . I got the first shot April 2, the next one will be July 23.

Yes, Canada has not been as quick and efficient with its vaccination rollout.

A bit confused here and maybe it's a case of two different issues, but is the delay in the second shot due to the specific vaccine?  In any event, I do hope that Canada has managed to figure out things now and and has a plan in place?

PD

Wow. I just read this article.  I hadn't realized that Canada was so far behind (your comments made me look further).  A bit of good news here:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56824177  In any event, I'm so sorry that its been hard for Canadians to get the vaccine.  Wishing you the best.

To give as many people as possible the protection of the first shot before fulle vaccinating them.
