Who is getting the COVID-19 Vaccine?

Well my dad and his wife are getting their 3rd shots this week. They got AZ+Pfizer originally which isn't considered fully vaccinated for most places and AB now lets them complete their mRNA routine so they're getting another Pfizer shot. With all the delta shit going on that actually makes me happy, basically a early booster shot for them.

Hmm, my entire social circle is the AZ group too. Should we all be getting third shots asap? Is that what's going to be required for travel?

Most countries recognize completing 2 shots of the same vaccine type. So 2x AZ or 2x mRNA are both fine but 1xAZ + 1xmRNA is not. Canada deciding to mix doses ended up awkwardly in the middle so they are just getting their shots so they've 'completed' one of the vaccine routines. My mom got 2x AZ and doesn't need/qualify for a 3rd shot.

Does 3rd shot qualify for $100?

Unless she wants to go to the US.

Edit: This from July indicates the US now recognizes 2x AZ as fully vaccinated in the US.

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/...s-says.html?rf

The United States consider people “fully vaccinated” if they have received one of the three vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Janssen) or a vaccine on the emergency use listing issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. public health authority, told La Presse in an email. This list includes three additional vaccines: AstraZeneca-Oxford (including Covishield), Sinopharm and Sinovac-CoronaVac.

Would she though? Wouldn't she need 4 shots then since US won't recognize just one mRNA? I don't think Alberta is allowing that yet.

Yep. AZ is not recognized in the US at all (yet). So far as they're concerned she's unvaccinated. The UK is pushing to get the US to accept it for travelers, but Socks is too busy losing his election to push right now (like he said he would)

You don't need to be vaccinated at all to enter the USA by air.

I edited my above, US recognizes AZ now.

Just thought you might all be interested in my vaccine reaction saga... Woke up in the middle of the night on Fri/Sat and my left hand was swollen up so much I could not even close it, and I also had a massive painfully swollen welt across my upper arm. Went back in for treatment and am now on the prednisone. Been three days going on four and it seems to be working, but kinda weird as by my understanding it basically works by knocking back your immune system so now I apparently need to be careful I don't get sick which is counterproductive to the vaccine that got me here, but it is what it is. At least it is hopefully short term to just kick my body in the ass and hope it all adjusts and starts my now hyper-active immune system functioning normally again.

Is this still from your mid-July shot? That seems quite a lot for 2 months out. Surprised its flaring up like this. Or is this from a recent second dose?

Yes, this is from the July shot which was my second dose. The first was at the end of May. Yeah it has been going on almost two months now, hence the reason all the head scratching and so forth. The reactions I am experiencing are not rare per-say but they usually clear up on there own quickly. I am a definite anomaly that it has not receded and nobody really knows what to do other than treat the symptoms. Up until now that was basically antihistamines but they are finally getting more heavy duty about it, hence the prednisone and a corticosteroid cream for any spot flare ups on the skin.

Good to know! I didn't think they were recognizing it yet.

Geez @tirebob at sucks. Prednisone is some serious shit!
Hopefully not too long on it.

The bruising on my body appears to keep happening.
Big bruising on my calf.
At the suggestion of someone else, I'm going to get a second opinion on it and have the doc review my blood tests. My GP appears to not be worried. I just don't want to be a statistic not waking up due to a clot or some shit.

The my body my choice thing is even better irony.

I guess it's easier to make the argument if you start with the false premise that it's just the far right that is against this draconian nonsense.

you are right ... it is far left and right...

Yeah man... Do whatever you have to do. I was x-rayed and blood tested and all the shit and no clots which is good.

Ok, so the far right are the ones who discriminate against immigrants and homosexuals and visible minorities, right?
And now they don't want vaccine passports to be a thing because it would mean others would discriminate against them?

.

that is white privilege in action...

I was thinking about your description of what you have experienced and some of the images you shared. This came across my journal reading today:

Perhaps discuss this possibility with your doc?
