Markster 29 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Don’t sweat it. Its no big deal. When i got mine the nurses who administer it in St.Catharines did a fantastic job reducing the stress of getting it. No side effect for me anyway. Big shoutout to the niagara region team. Very organized and well run system. Tony 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corey 95 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 If it's something you want, there should be no apprehension about it. While I will not be getting it, I also don't believe a lot of the claims of adverse affects. Sure, not everyone's system will take it like it's designed to work but for most people they will be fine in regards to immediate issues. I can tell you this, there is not a single drug out there that hasn't killed someone at some point yet we trust the majority of them. Keep in mind every other drug out there has gone through proper clinical trials as well. My biggest concern is what may happen in the 2-10 years after receiving this injection.

Ross 10 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I don't think you got anything to worry about, my GF got hers last month and she said it was no different from a normal flu shot. I'm still waiting for my turn... Tony 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tombo 71 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 I’ve opted out on the Astra Zeneca. Gonna wait till I can get 1 of the safer ones. Astra Zeneca is the 1 all the pharmacies are using I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

genec 334 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 We got our first shot today at the St. Catharines arena. Got to give Niagara Health system kudos for their setup...Very well organized and efficiently run with a LOT of people helping. Our appt. was for 1:20, and by 1:45 we were on our way home.

Mbocco 221 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 That was my experience there as well. I think waiting 4 months for shot#2 is dumb but so be it I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
genec 334 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 May not end up being nearly that long if the govt. keeps speeding up vaccine acquisitions, as they seem to be doing lately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mbocco 221 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Except that it seems that some of Niagara’s vaccines are being sent to “hot spots”. Bookings filled up early last week and as far as I know haven’t opened up again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smerchly 3,223 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Protest here today ....next one coming to the Falls . Ramps are being shut down , just as the bite begins .....
