Got my second shot of Pfizer on Tuesday had pretty much no side effects with either dose. Barely felt the first injection and only slightly felt the second injection.
Same here, I noticed some discomfort in my left arm (where the shot went) the next day, but nothing else. Nothing like the sore arm I got from Tetanus shot.
I went cycling today, went past the fairgrounds where the vaccinations are done here, long long line-up. People are getting there shots! (But really should show up at the appointed time lol) A lot of things re-opened today (flip flip government, last week it was still a 2 week extension until June 2nd) due to the nice weather. It was very busy down town. May 24 weekend, Monday is Victoria day. We'll see in two weeks if we jumped the gun again. Over 50% has gotten their first dose now, however vaccinations have massively ramped up in the past couple weeks so a lot of those are still vulnerable this long weekend.
Conflicting guidance as usual, complaining people go North to their cottages despite the stay at home order still being in effect, while opening golf courses, splash pads etc. Few people seemed to take the stay at home order seriously anyway. But the closure of workplaces (-45%), retail and recreation (-29%) has helped to curb the 3rd wave. Parks are up +92% since the stay at home order.
Got my Sinovac shot on thursday here in chile, I'm 30 and it was my turn, I'm feeling a little sick but I was already like this before from a cold so I don't know if the vaccine has to do with anything. We should get to 26 year olds by next week with at least the first dose

Where I live (North Texas) there has been more supply then demand for the COVID vaccine since late April already. Didn't have to wait for either of my shots.
Here's our new re-opening plan (which will be abandoned next week again anyway lol)
Now they want to base it on vaccinations. Good, it will get people motivated to get their vaccine.
However schools are not included in the plans, because they simply don't know what role schools play in transmission. Some experts say kids can keep the virus circulating, and no vaccines for under 12. Out kids are already at home for the rest of the school year, no opt in option for the potential re-opening in June. Which is kinda pointless anyway, only 3 weeks of school left by then.

Your phase 2 equivalent is basically the worst it gets around here now, with occasional, temporary phase 1-like restrictions when hospitals are at 100% for too long.
OT - I found out I'm technically eligible for vaccination now because I'm on beta-blockers. I thought on waiting for another batch of Pfizer but then I found out it's being applied on the same 90-day interval as the AZ one around here so eh, might as well go for it.

Europe in detail
The holiday effected some of the numbers last week, all but the UK keep heading down, Spain flat for the week. Numbers are going back up in the UK.
Real-world data from Uruguay (almost 100% P.1 epidemic nowadays) show two dozes of the Pfizer vaccine is 75% effective against symptomatic cases and 99% against hospitalization. CoronaVac, which is also applied there, stood at a still-respectable 57% and 95%, respectively. The latter is fairly consistent with Chile, where the variant also predominates, at 65% and 89%, respectively, for CoronaVac, with data for Pfizer to be released soon.
Peru has more than doubled its Covid death toll following a review, making it the country with the world's highest death rate per capita, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
The official death toll is now more than 180,000, up from 69,342, in a country of about 33 million people.
Prime Minister Violeta Bermudez said the number was increased on the advice of Peruvian and international experts.
This was in line with so-called excess deaths figures.
[...]
The official number of Covid deaths now stands at 180,764, a huge increase on the previous official figure of 69,342.
That makes more than 500 Covid deaths per 100,000 people, overtaking Hungary with 300 per 100,000.
In comparison, neighbouring Colombia, with a larger population than Peru, has registered 88,282 deaths.
Brazil has one of the world's highest death tolls with more than 460,000, but in a country of more than 211 million.
The revised figure for Covid-19 related deaths shows they were right to be doubtful. In fact, the government has admitted the real number is more than twice the previous figure.
A government working group of experts, formed to analyse Peru's data, published the revised figures after establishing broader criteria by which deaths from coronavirus were recorded.
Now that the narrower definition has been abandoned, the country's per capita death toll is in fact much higher than Brazil's.
Such a figure coincides more closely to the anecdotal evidence coming from hospitals and intensive care units across the country and with the images of cemeteries struggling to find space for the high number of burials each day.
Meanwhile, the process of vaccination has been slow and beset with difficulties across most of South America.

Damn what an increase. Now on the top spot of Covid deaths per person with a huge gap between it and Hungary.
I wonder who would be on top if every country accounted for all the excess deaths...
Estimates for the US also puts them closer to 900,000 deaths instead of the official 600,000. Looking at excess deaths doesn't paint the whole picture either as for example the yearly deaths from the flu has plummeted thanks to all the extra measures.

Here we're finally making good progress beating the third wave down. Thus talks about early re-opening are back on of course, yet schools will stay closed for the rest of the school year. At least today they will lol. It's 4 more weeks until summer holiday starts here. My kids won't have seen the inside of the school building for 18 months when they go back in September. They've been home since March break 2020.
