What is Toronto's alleged vax system?

So if you're 18+ and in a hotspot you can only get your vaccine at mass immunization centers, not through the provincial booking system... Problem is the mass immunization centers won't take anyone under 49 lol.

It gets better, the CDC is recommending pausing the J&J vaccine because of a very rare type of blood clot; cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. This usually occurs in pre-menopausal women with thrombocytopenia. The take away from this is if you've had the J&J Covid vaccine within the last three weeks and you get a clot refuse Heparin.

Couldn't they keep going with men and maybe women over 50?

I get my second pfizer shot sat. My daughter gets hers today. One son and my wife are completely vaxed (he works in a hospital at times) and the other son got his first shot last weekend.

All but my wife were through cvs (a local pharmacy). My wife got hers through the VA. Both veterans and employees are eligible, and they do same day shots here.

The supply seems thin but you can get an appointment if you try hard enough. Don't know what the j/j stop will mean for appointments. We all got pfizer, and moderna was the other option.

What does it take to get the vaccine?

They've got sufficient data to design a pre-test for the J&J to weed out potential clotters. CDC said that they may have to short shrift the Pfitzer and Moderna protocols re: time bet/ doses to make up for pulling JJ

Essentially pre-menopausal women need a test for Thrombocytopenia. My understanding was they were pausing to get the information to the doctors about not using Heparin for cases of clotting. But our incidence is even lower than the EUs. Hopefully the will restart soon.

Preferable than being roasted , breathing micro glass or starving. Plus have vax med teams shipboard. Personally, I don't require 100% optimal choices ;)

6 cases in 6 million doses seems like pretty good odds to me. About the same odds of winning $100,000 on a scratch ticket. Somebody hits but probably not you. Lol.

Don't they have more blood clot cases than that from birth control pills?
