Some of those southern states are interesting though. Last I read. USA ahead of us in fully vaxxed. 45% - 25% but Can ahead of them in single vax.

We're ahead of everyone in single vax but, as you noted, around 20% behind the US in full vaccinations. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the issues I experienced trying to book for my mother was that once you have your appointment, you can't change it before cancelling your original. It would be helpful if the system just let you update your appointment, rather than forcing you to cancel first. Now, that doesn't apply to the pharmacies but you need to know where to look for those appointments. People get confused.

THe province should have staffed more on the phones and maybe included a pop up chat feature on the covid appointment website (like on all the telecom companies' web sites). Put more resources in effective communication for all things covid vax related. JCon and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Children under the ages of 12 will follow their parents vaccination status. This suggests to me that I will be able to take my 11 year old to the Bomber game on August 5th. I'm not sure if I will, as that may depend on what's happening with the variants, but I'm glad I'll be able to choose. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta will be the dominant strain in a little over a month. Go get Moderna and be safe. Mixing is fine.

My wife spent time on the booking website refreshing over and over until a cancellation opened up a spot. It takes time, but hearing a few people have done it that way. itchy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I am so happy that it appears you will have to be fully vaxxed to attend Bomber games. Also happy gyms are opening and in a few weeks will be able to dine inside with other people. Yay being doubled vaxxed. Sard and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal optimist Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 So... our neighbor (who is a cop) just told us the most amazing story ever (NSFW) Apparently, at one of the recent anti-mask rallies, a counter-protestor (i.e. pro-mask, pro-vaccine) showed up with: Spoiler 1. A large sign that said #DickForDicks 2. A box of 4 inch dildos, which she proceeded to throw at anti-mask protestors. She had about 400 of them. When asked, she said if they wore masks they wouldn't have to worry about having the projectiles going in their mouths.
