Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

He must have got it this morning. He certainly didn’t get it on the weekend in the news clips I saw. Did he finally let his wife cut it?

I am trying to find a place for second dose AZ. It’s like a treasure hunt. The pharmacy staff have no info as to supply or delivery dates.

Ok, it’s official. Now I can be happy. https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/...e-to-step-one-of-roadmap-to-reopen-on-june-11

Hmmmm, from the above......................this partially explains why ICU numbers haven't declined as fast as one would expect:

As of June 6, the number of patients with COVID-19 in ICUs is 497, including 31 patients from Manitoba, as compared to 687 two weeks ago..

I know the best vaccine was the one you are offered first but honestly, I am starting to wonder if that messaging was the brightest idea.

The first vaccine offered to alot of people was AZ, then Moderna which are both now having supply issues leading to mixing and matching so people will get a second dose.

Vaccine shopping is not the best idea BUT I did my research before getting vaccinated in terms of potential supply issues. When I heard the City of Toronto Mass Immunization clinics were exclusively Pfizer I decided to hold out and wait longer for a vaccine I knew would not be in short supply.

Vaccine shopping is bad, but I wanted to ensure I can get my second dose on time without issue

My business partner gave up on the hunt and registered for a Pfizer vaccine instead of a second AZ. Not sure what he did on the provincial website, but he's being sent to Cloverdale Mall (he lives at Bay and Bloor...) My own second-dose appointment will be six weeks earlier than scheduled, this coming Sunday, at the Convention Centre. My first was at St. Michael's, but no word from them so I didn't wait.

My preference is not to mix and match. We have been checking with the pharmacy where we got our first dose who have been as helpful as possible given the lack of information to date. I’m still good for a few weeks so hopefully it will get sorted. If not, mixing it is!

A friend of mine went to a Shoppers and got herself on the waitlist. The next day (Saturday) there were 4 cancellations and they called her in. However, it was Pfizer vaccine. Are any of the clinics providing AZ anymore?

My guess is that they are all out now given the earlier limited supply. Moderna is also running out as evidenced by the issues in Halton.

I don't think there has been any AZ and minimal Moderna shipments recently.

As far as I can tell, only pharmacies. One I spoke to was hoping to get a shipment tomorrow. Elliott did announce a shipment last week.

From the Globe - on local PPE production from a business perspective:

Canadian PPE companies confronting the sober reality of long-term production

With COVID-19 here to stay, personal protective equipment producers seek a cost-effective model

There is a way around that - prohibit or severely limit PPE import.

Ontario is reporting 469 cases of #COVID19 and nearly 17,600 tests completed. BUT This total excludes York Region figures, due to 'data clean-up" (York Region reported 34 yesterday.)

My sister, who doesn't live in a hot spot, got her first vaccine today! Also, my 88 year old grandma will be getting her second shot very soon and since she isn't very mobile, they are going to her.

I have been ordering from Vitacore in B.C. (vitacore.ca) after reading about them. Their "N99" respirators fit very well.

We are sub 100 in Toronto which is also a good sign. If those numbers hold we could be out of the woods by the end of June/Early July.
