Pharmacies in the south end of town seem pretty fed up with people asking about waste/wait lists but I'm going to keep trying to squeak in there!

He said 120k Pfizer per week until early June then it should double up to 220k. And if are lucky and get 10% of Moderna that's late, we may get 90k from that batch in the coming week.
J&J may show up in May but nothing for sure.

If the process was more organized they wouldn't be getting these inquiries. I expected the AHS rollout to be a shit show but the private pharmacies should be able to sort this out quite easily.
1) Make your appointments based on whatever group is currently being vaccinated.
2) Have a backup wait list for no-shows and cancellations.
3) Go down the wait list as required.
No twitter announcements required, no phone calls for people to get on the list, no in person appointment making. Its simple shit.
You would think so but you still have phone going off the hook that isn't customers for prescriptions and random unvaccinated people are holding up lines trying to get on a list in person. And then you got no shows because they were able to jump the queue at AHS appointments and never told the pharmacies which is part of the reason why wastage list got created in the 1st place.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

AB gets 119k Pfizer doses on Thursday and the 91k delayed Moderna are set to arrive later this week. Then 119k Pfizer next week and 135k Moderna is originally scheduled but based on recent timing it may be up to week late. Even if it gets pushed to the week after, there's another 119k Pfizer arriving that week too. Also COVAX sent us 37k that should arrive in the province any day now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Which gives ~615k doses arriving by the end of April plus the 340k doses Alberta has on hand but not in arms yet. So AB should be doing 200k doses per week over the next 4-5 weeks and not run out.
May will be interesting as well, Moderna has a larger contract for Q2 deliveries which it has not yet scheduled, supposed to be ~10 million in Q2 and they'll have delivered 2.1 million in the first month, one would hope that means May is a increase in doses somewhat but we'll see based on their delays. We have seen their shipments rise from 400k every 3 weeks up to 1.2 million every second week so it may ramp further yet.
All I am trying to say is, this "on pace" to 300k to 500k per week delivery is too optimistic while it's real if you count AZ. AZ take up rate is low given that narrow age range and bad press.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That said, we should ship whatever we don't use to retirement valley:

Okay but from what numbers I posted; even if you take out the ~115k US AZ doses and 37k covax you still get 800k other doses in Alberta in the next ~3 weeks. So we can still do 200k doses per week into May and not run out. That would still put us at ~18% more vaccinated on top of our current 15.5% with one dose. So a third of the population.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Which is fine but that moves it to 1.6M doses administrated toward 5M needed to hit 72% by end of Apr.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If May is the same, we would hit around 2.4M/5M administered which is what Kenney called 48% immunity in his graph. So they already took AZ off the table in the estimates but put in back into the 300-500k distribution numbers creating a false safety.
I would rather tell everyone to stay in current state until Sep and open early than telling people we can have Stampede and miss it.
Edit: nvm misunderstood the 5M
I don't think anyone expects to hit 72% by end of April; where is that coming from? I thought we'd be at 33% end of April + however many people caught covid adds to that. So closing in on 40% ish which is close to the next stage.
84k vaccinations today, though 0 yesterday so a 2 day update. Still though, 40k each day is pretty huge. Hope it keeps yp
Cdn huge. Not USA huge. Let's keep it in check.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
US did 2.63 mill today out of 330 mill population; AB did 40k out of 4.3 mill ... so per capita we did more than the US today.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Should have worded it better. 5m in arm is the 72% expected in Sep.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
4.5m - 1m kids = 3.5M can take vaccine in AB.
.72 * 3.5M = 2.5M expected to take COVID vax.
2 dose each = 5M doses needed to hit 72%
800k so far. 800k in Apr. 800 in May = 2.4m by end of May. 2.4M/5M = 48%, matches the target set out by Kenney.
So 200k/week is believable. 300k/week is believable if 55-64 rushes out to take up every dose of AZ out there. 500k/week may be possible if US is done with vaccination.
Sorry if I missed something...
Does this mean us inessential, young(ish) and healthy folks can get a vaccine in Calgary soon?
May? Unless cops/fire fighters/teachers get into next priority group. And we still go meat plant workers ahead of us as well.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think that’s thread has officially achieved Xtramarth
We don't need 5 million doses administered to hit the 72% milestone. We need 2,480,505 people with a degree of immunity that can be gained through either recovery or having received at least one dose.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Just like to hit the 48% milestone we need 1,653,670 people with some degree of immunity. After the late update today, that number is currently 900,488
See Crank. See Crank Walk. Walk Crank Walk.
You guys are just way too hopeful and positive on this vaccine roll out.
Someone's going to fuck something up soon.
Roll out is going too mediocre for it not to mess up again in short order.
I'll wait for phase 2J(Z).
That's when the FnF generation gets their vaccine, right?
