And don't forget, with the J&J vaccine now approved by the U.S. FDA its approval is also very likely coming in Canada in the next couple of weeks which could further increase the provincial supply later in the spring.

Thanks, Ross! My husband is soon to be 88 and has COPD, so has been very anxious to get some "solid" info about when he will be able to get his shot.
In the meantime, he takes his little poker game, wears his mask, and goes out in our vehicle every 10 days or so and stay in the parking lot to people watch while I head in to get another 2 weeks' of vittles!
That's our survival strategy until we get solid info that we're able to do anything else.
Cheers.
Good luck to you both Lulymay!
C. and I will be in the last phase 3 group. Can't wait.

Thank you for the list! Nice public service.
At 71 it will be awhile, but I'm good, I've been in since Feb. of last year and saved a lot of money. No shopping.
It is hoped that those who need the shots as Lulymay's spouse does, get them as quickly as possible.
Becoming more concerned now as Dr. Henry is extending the timeline between doses to 4 months! Canada's Chief Science Advisor Mona Nemer says not to, we must stick to what the trials dictated by Moderna and Pfizer. According to Mona what Dr. Henry is doing is basic human trials that need volunteers and permission. Don't know where Dr. Henry is getting her data but I don't think it's ethical.

Don't know about you, but I'm hoping I still know how to count my change come, say, September when we're back exchanging real money again.

Working on a post (another busy day job week so I'm slow) but in the meantime have a look at...this from the British Med Journal.
