Our province, heck our country is not doing a great job getting the vaccine out in a timely manner. My age group was not scheduled to receive our first vaccination until June. Surprise, today they updated the rules and anyone 40+ now qualify. I started calling and going to pharmacy websites trying to book an appointment. I was so relieved when I was able to talk to someone and actually book one for May 10. Then about 5pm I got a phone call from one of the pharmacy’s that I put in an online request. They had a last minute cancellation and said that if I could be there in 30 minutes I could get my shot. We dropped everything, jumped into the car and raced downtown. I now have my first vaccine. I can’t tell you how happy I am. I feel like a won the lottery. It sounds so silly but that is how I feel.
Update: I was warned that I would feel really awful after my shot but I feel fine. My arm isn’t even sore when I move it. If I go hunting around I can find a little sore spot if I press on it but that’s it. I got the Moderna shot. Rumour has it that the second shot is harder than the first with Moderna.

Lou got the Moderna, did not even know he had it, no effects at all. I had the Pfizer, vamprilla jabbed me so bad I jumped and bled…however, obviously it was sore, following day I had ‘heavy’ arm and the chills for a few hours, by day 3 it was just a but of “heavy” arm…I have heard also for all of them the 2nd one is not fun….
Hi Deb, Glad to hear you finally got your first shot, no menti
