Good news, I should be able to book an appointment tomorrow for the Astrazeneca vaccine. The minimum age will be lowered to 40 in Ontario on the 20th. My wife doesn't know yet what to do (at high risk for pretty much all the possible side effects). I'll get it first, see how it goes.

She's finally getting to talk to a doctor on the 27th with the results of all the long overdue tests since her medication got switched last year. One of the side effects of this drawn out Covid stuff, she now has an enlarged aorta from having her blood pressure out of control for over half a year.

Her friend survived the surgery, most of her left lung had to be removed after diagnosing cancer half a year late due to the pandemic. She's not doing too well though, the surgery took a lot longer than expected and she's now coping with a very slow recovery. Covid causes far more damage than just to the people catching it.

Anyway, at least I'll be able to get the vaccine soon, lowering the chance further that I can catch it while doing groceries and inadvertently kill my wife :/



They changed the age limit today and I signed up for 2 wait lists. I thought it would be coordinated but nope, sign up by pharmacy. I got a confirmation saying it can take weeks to months before getting an invitation to book an appointment. At least people are not shying away from the vaccines!
