Covid-19

What is Toronto's alleged vax system?

So if you're 18+ and in a hotspot you can only get your vaccine at mass immunization centers, not through the provincial booking system... Problem is the mass immunization centers won't take anyone under 49 lol.

Toronto residents 18 and older in COVID-19 hot spots not getting invites to mass immunization clinics for now: Pegg

The head of Toronto’s COVID-19 emergency response said Monday that younger residents living in hot spot neighbourhoods will not be getting an invite to attend mass immunization sites for now.

All I can do is laugh now.

It gets better, the CDC is recommending pausing the J&J vaccine because of a very rare type of blood clot; cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. This usually occurs in pre-menopausal women with thrombocytopenia. The take away from this is if you've had the J&J Covid vaccine within the last three weeks and you get a clot refuse Heparin.

Couldn't they keep going with men and maybe women over 50?

I get my second pfizer shot sat. My daughter gets hers today. One son and my wife are completely vaxed (he works in a hospital at times) and the other son got his first shot last weekend.

All but my wife were through cvs (a local pharmacy). My wife got hers through the VA. Both veterans and employees are eligible, and they do same day shots here.

The supply seems thin but you can get an appointment if you try hard enough. Don't know what the j/j stop will mean for appointments. We all got pfizer, and moderna was the other option.

I wondered that also. My guess is they will turn it back on with better screening.

I got my second Pfizer yesterday & feel great!

Momma gets her second Moderna in a couple of weeks.

They've got sufficient data to design a pre-test for the J&J to weed out potential clotters. CDC said that they may have to short shrift the Pfitzer and Moderna protocols re: time bet/ doses to make up for pulling JJ

Residents Need Vaccine To Evacuate Island After Volcano Erupts

According to Yahoo News, “People on the volcano-stricken island of St. Vincent will be evacuated to certain neighboring islands only if they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19, the nation’s prime minister said.”

Essentially pre-menopausal women need a test for Thrombocytopenia. My understanding was they were pausing to get the information to the doctors about not using Heparin for cases of clotting. But our incidence is even lower than the EUs. Hopefully the will restart soon.

A large cruise ship or two on a humanitarian mission might work

Excellent idea; it's not as if they have to reserve the ships for cruises; Carnival, etc could also milk it for great PR while earning a reasonable amount of dinero

I dunno, the history of cruise ships and air born viri has not been steller........

Preferable than being roasted , breathing micro glass or starving. Plus have vax med teams shipboard. Personally, I don't require 100% optimal choices

Monoclonal antibody treatment on board too.

If your alternative is Pompeii I'd attempt it.

Or Krakatoa.

I'd be bolting up that gangway!

6 cases in 6 million doses seems like pretty good odds to me. About the same odds of winning $100,000 on a scratch ticket. Somebody hits but probably not you. Lol.

Don't they have more blood clot cases than that from birth control pills?
