COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[celedhring]

Germany just quashed any hope I had of my mother getting her AZ shot tomorrow. 

[The Larch]

So my mom's master plan is to postpone her vaccination appointment alleging family matters*, get on the back of the queue and since AZ is yet again missing their deliveries, hope to get some other vaccine when it's her turn again 

I don't think it's particularly foolproof, but it buys me time to convince her at least.

*To be honest, there's a pretty decent chance we'll have to attend a funeral that day 

What's her deal? She just wants to avoid the AZ one?

New York announced that anyone over 30 can sign up for vaccination, and starting April 6 anyone over 16.

She is not the only one...

Yes, she's fine with getting any of the others. But she's a bit paranoid about the whole blood clot thing.

How old is she? IIRC the blood clots affected mostly younger women. In fact some places have even restricted its use for women under 55, I think.

[Grey Fox]

Sheilbh half mentioned it but Canada has stop using the AZ for anyone under 55.

We currently don't have any to administrer. Should get 1.5 million today on loan from the USA.

Btw, thank you Berkut for making that happen.

[Berkut]

Don't worry, I suspect we won't be asking for any of it back.

Booked in for Thursday afternoon.

She's 64, but she's a bit of a hypochondriac. That said, she's been suffering from unexplained migraines for years, and she's always been very afraid of being more susceptible to strokes.

They don't say but AZ is pretty much guaranteed and what I have resigned myself to. Probably going to ruin most of my Easter long weekend. But worth it.

[Sheilbh]

For what it's worth my reaction was basically over in 36 hours. First 12 hours just a sore arm, then 24 hours of flu and then fine but slight sore arm.

I've heard similar from a few people.
