Hmm - so they're still out of Pfizer?

No they restarted shipments. If anything they seem more likely to be short on Moderna since they had two weeks of only 49,000 doses. 4 million Moderna is showing up for this weeks allocation.

They do their best to match people up to what they had for their first dose, AZ excluded obviously.

The Canada Place operation is indeed like an assembly line once you are in. With shot number three, four, etc in the horizon, I don't see them ceasing their operations anytime soon.

No plans for this according to health officials.

Immune reactions from the earliest vaccinated are remaining strong ~1 year in.

I had AZ first time around. Second time around, they put me in a sperate line up where I could only get Moderna

Many European countries are talking about annual booster shots. Also Quebec is now providing the chance for a third shot if you happened to get Astra-Zeneca in the beginning. It's quite a mess this whole thing and will continue to be for years to come.

We got our Moderna hat-trick this week, and out of all of them, I think this one has knocked the stuffing out me the most, though it's only grogginess, general body aches, and a sore arm. Either way, it makes me glad we have avoided the actual active virus so far, though a couple of our friends, and most of our immediate family, haven't been so lucky.

For those curious, they're now pushing Moderna because it's a larger dose, and provides more protection as a result. On the day we went to Canada Place, they had anticipated 1,000 kids showing up for their second dose, but only a 100 came out. That said, apparently there were a lot bigger babies when the mandates were first announced, and I feel for these workers, considering the abuse that was directed at them.

Looks like Vancouver has to endure yet another Bridge & Tunnel Krazy Kanadian Konvoy today. Looking forward to all the tiny peen pickup drivers honking throughout the city.

'Refrain from wearing scrubs': Vancouver healthcare workers warned ahead of convoy protest
By Sonia Aslam and Lisa Steacy

Vancouver healthcare workers are being told to change out of their scrubs and hide their ID if they need to go outside Saturday, when a planned protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions is set to pass three hospitals.

Saturday’s protest will begin in Langley and end in downtown Vancouver. The route passes Mount Saint Joseph on Kingsway, Vancouver General on Broadway, and St. Paul’s on Burrard Street.

CityNews has obtained memos to staff from Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) and Providence Healthcare (PHC) advising them that both private security and the Vancouver Police Department will be monitoring the situation....

they are backed into a corner and grasping at whatever they think they can do now, the unvaxxed are a very small minority considering over 80% vaccination rate. the scared act out rather than deal with reality.

Ouch. I don't agree with how any protest mushrooms into a catch-all gripe (hello Occupy Wall Street? Their statement of demands read like an SCTV script), but that's one heck of a broad brush set of stereotypes you're using there. Let's not devolve this into further reactive prejudices.

Nope. We all know around 90% of these people were from outside Vancouver. They can go protest in their own communities.

Yeah right-wing Larry can honk at his neighbours in Chilliwack and leave us the fuck alone.

JFC. People have freedom of expression in Canada but what kind of person would purposely bring a loud protest to patients and health care workers in hospitals?

It’s such a tone-deaf level of narcissism and stupidity.
