I've had both shots.

We had our first Moderna shot on March 31. We had to go about 50 miles from home in Lambton County. Our second shot was scheduled for July 21 at the same location.

Today, when I was at our pharmacy picking up prescriptions, they had a sign inviting people to book their shots right in that store. I asked how soon they could accomodate my wife and I and she booked us in for this Wednesday at noon.

Yep.

Received first shot of AZ and second one was Pfizer.  Both at local Shoppers Drug and last one was just a couple of days after phoning in for appointment..

yep .. 
AZ jab#1 Mar14 @Loblaws
AZ jab#2 Jun05 @Rexall

*edit*
minimal side effect from jab#1 .. just a restless sleep that night
minimal side effect from jab#2 .. just a very, very low grade headache

Wife and I both got our first shot of Moderna. She had a really sore arm for a couple of days. I felt nothing. Not even tenderness around the area.

We're getting our second shot this week. I've heard that the reaction to the second shot is often worse than was the first.

I'll be older but "Pfizer" next week - if they ever get more in. Otherwise, I'll be a member of the Moderna Squad. Moved up from August 3rd. 

My worry is I have a series of medical tests the day after at a clinic, where they take your temperature before letting you in as part of their screening process. I'm a bit worried if I have a reaction to dose two they may turn me away at the door. (How would you say "dose two" In Spanish? Dose dos? Seems redundant.)

Still, I'm going for it while it's there. Or as I like to facetiously say, "I agreed to testify against COVID-19, so they're giving me immunity..."

#1 AZ, #2 Pfizer

Second shot today (Moderna).  Our first was Pfizer, eight weeks ago.

Scheduled for June 26th.  1st AZ 2nd Either Pfizer or Moderna.  I will gladly take either.

Yes, it'll be two weeks this Friday for the second one and then I'm free (relatively).

Thanks for the two week reminder.  Just made a note in my calendar.
 

2 weeks ago today, we had 2nd shot of AZ - roughly 24 hours before the powers that be, basically shot down AZ 2nd doses for anyone and recomended Phizer or Moderna.  I was feeling “buyer’s remorse” up till last night when a UK study came out (credible) that AZ is 90%+ effective for avoiding severe Covid and hospitalization from most variants including the (Indian) Delta Variant.   That’s great news for those of us who got the AZ vaccine.  No side effects whatsoever.  Tomorrow is the 15th day.   Not that we're going to raves, or Sahlen field in Buffalo...but there is some degree of liberation....even when masked

Shot #2 tonight, 10 minutes ahead of schedule and again Pfizer.  Volunteers were doing a superb job and the general mood was upbeat.  One volunteer told me that the location where I got my shots had vaccinated over 50,000 people so far.  Now all we need to do is to get Waterloo Region in line with the rest of the province.  K/W and area won't be moving to level 2 on July 30th like everyone else.  Our infection rates are higher and hospitals have been moving some patients to locations like London and Guelph. But the light is absolutely in sight!

I thought Ford said we wouldn't be doing it region by region this time. That it would be all or nothing.

Our son and his wife live in Waterloo. They just got home two weeks ago after being stranded in Mexico since last September. Just finished their quarantine yesterday
 

As far as I am aware, we are the only region.  Our numbers have been really out of sync with the rest of the province for a while now. Some days we have more new cases than Toronto, however like everywhere else, the numbers are low compared to a few months ago.  But troubling, the infection rate on Friday was five times that of the rest of the province.   People here getting COVID have been those who aren't vaccinated and mostly not seniors.   Also we have a higher rate of the Delta strain than the rest of the province.  So most people here seem to be going along with the extended level 1.  Not many people complaining or upset so far, everyone just wants to get through this and get on with life. Canada Day holiday if the weather is nice will be a challenge.
