Got mine today and was in and out in 25 mins. They broke a few needles trying to get into this man meat.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Zero pain, no side effects thus far.


Fuck Pimp! Looking good man lol.
I'm hopefully getting mine by May I believe for being a teacher, but who knows when really.
Thanks Trigs.

I think you may be able to get it sooner. If they make your area a “high risk” zone you may get it in a couple weeks. Fingers crossed because you teachers really should be eligible .
Will be 100% as soon as I can!

Just have to wait so long being the physically fit specimen that I am....

Got mine last Sunday and my better half goes this coming Wednesday (she's a couple of years younger so was on the "wrong" side of 65 to get it last week). It was an easy and very streamlined process - very well run. Looking forward to when everyone gets it so we can socialize a bit. I kind of miss people, my grandkids most of all. It'll be nice to hug them again.
I am booked in for April 21st - can't wait!
I will be getting the vaccine asap. No side chest shot for me though. :o

Booked for noon tomorrow. I've never looked forward to getting a shot this much before lol.
For those looking to try and get a vaccine, I was putting my name on multiple waiting lists at pharmacies in my area and have not heard anything back yet. However, I walked into a Walmart yesterday and went up to the pharmacy and just asked if they had any openings, and I got one for Tuesday. This was after trying to sign up online at Walmarts in the area and nothing coming up. So, you might want to try and walk in and get a spot - it worked for me.
Got my first shot on March 14th in Toronto. Sometimes it pays to be old.

Very good advice Trigs. Good luck tomorrow.
Got word today that a Shoppers near my house was taking walkins...happily waited in line for shot #1. Stay safe folks.
One shot down. One more to go which is scheduled for end of July. Care's 2nd shot is 1st week of August. First home game tentatively scheduled for 2nd Saturday in August perhaps? :D
We got our first ones a few weeks back. Lori has 2nd already, I'm scheduled for July 24th. Let's Go
Good news on the vaccine front today for all you youngsters. If you're 30+ you can book a vaccine appointment as of May 17th and all adults (18+) will be able to book as of May 24th.
First shot two days ago!

Have decided against it so far. Will probably wait awhile longer here In Brazil. I live in a closed campus. We have had people in the city actually die after having the shots. The only thing that may speed up the decision as if I decide to come home at Christmas. Otherwise I am waiting until 2022.

How many people have actually died as a direct result of having a shot? Were the deaths related to a specific vaccine? How many people in Brazil have died because they weren't vaccinated and contracted Covid? Perhaps getting some reliable data would change your views.

Here's some numbers to consider for Brazil:
Population of Brazil - 213,908,943
Coronavirus cases - 15,815,191 (7.4% of total population)
Coronavirus deaths - 441,864 (2.8% of total cases; 0.2% of total population)

I can't find information on adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccinations in Brazil but looking at the US numbers, deaths resulting from vaccination MAY be as much as 0.0017% in the US (17 people per 1,000,000 vaccinations):

Over 273 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through May 17, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 4,647 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. CDC and FDA physicians review each case report of death as soon as notified and CDC requests medical records to further assess reports. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets—which has caused deaths.

Being a poker player you obviously understand odds. Don't you think the odds are in your favour to get vaccinated sooner rather than later? Just sayin.
Not trying to be funny. I am not afraid of covid. Like I said, I live in a closed campus and follow the rules. My biggest concern is a heart attack. I had a scare in March I ballooned up to 450 lbs (My heaviest ever) this past year and ended up being was off work for 8 weeks during which time I lost 88 lbs. I have changed some eating habits and walking for exercise. I will probably get the vaccine if I visit Canada at Christmas but for now I have other things that are a bigger concern to me.
