YAY!! we successfully got our boosters shots. Got there by 7:55 and received our shots at 9:30. Protected for - what ? - another 6 months?! BUT I'm good with that !
So everyone is telling us to go and get our booster shots. I tried to book a shot a week ago and the earliest date I could get was March 1st!! A friend from the country called me when she heard and told me the pharmacy in her town was holding walk-in clinics and to call them. I called and they told me there was a walk-in clinic on Thursday the 30th. I called yesterday to confirm and was told to be there before 9:oo a.m. At 9:00 a.m. they would be handing out tickets - 70 of them. That was all they had. IF we got a ticket it would tell us when to come back for our booster.
So by the time you are reading this we will be on the road. Fingers crossed we get 2 tickets. And that both of us get vaccinated. The numbers here in Ontario are more than a little scary - never mind the numbers in our lil town. Highest they have been since the start of this pandemic.
I'll let you know if we get a ticket or not............ wish us luck!!!
Crossing fingers you both manage to get your boosters Morningstar. Something I must look into, they have recently reduced the time between the 2nd and 3rd shots here from 6 months to 4. It will be six months for both of us in February anyway.

We both got our second shots July 7th - so we were due - our problem was there seems to be a glitch in giving out boosters - not sure if it is the lack of vaccine or lack of man power.
DeleteI hope you've been able to get them. Son and his husband got theirs yesterday. This thing has to end sometime - doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteend sometime ?? I'm not sure PK - I said to Sir Steve on the drive home - well we're good for another 6 months. IF I have to get a booster every 6 months - I will do it!
DeleteOh yes, the fun of the booster shot. They had a walk in clinic across the street from me, starting at 10. People were lining up at 4 am for it. By 10 a.m., the line was several kilometers long. They had 240 tickets. Those that weren't there by 7 a.m. didn't get a ticket.
ReplyDeleteI gave up and booked with a pharmacy for Jan 16, Sheriff is going on the 20th. The way this has been handled has been a total joke. They hand out testing clinics to the students at the schools to use over the break, but didn't bother with the adults in the school who work there. What was the point then? The kids could be safe, but the employees could not?
I hope you got your ticket. If not, try booking through the pharmacy on their waitlist.
Hugs, stay safe.

We did get our shots Boo - and I did book online for a pharmacy - they could only give me March 1st and then there was the small print that said "no guarantee that you will get it - depends on vaccine supply"
DeleteIf you're willing to head here I can give you a number- if you didn't get a ticket. We just booked 5 this morning for Sunda
ReplyDeleteThanks willie - we did indeed get our shots... about the same distance from you - about an hour. I don't care it's done! now we just have to wait 4 weeks and get the lil one's 2nd dose.
DeleteGood work!
ReplyDeletewell thank you Midwest Reader :) and welcome
DeleteGot my booster yesterday :) And then found out today that it is a bad idea to take Ibuprofen, soon after having a Moderna shot. That was a lost day, still you live and learn. Or as my mom used to say, “Well, you live anyway.”

I like your mom's line..... it made me smile. I can't take Ibuprofen cause of other meds I am on.. I did take Tylenol though... the arm is SO sore worse than with Pfizer and it hurts under my arm. BUT it's worth it to have the booster
