We're in Cloverdale too! On several lists around here and Langley. Then a friend told me about a small pharmacy in Delta (120th and 84th) but when I checked they had ONE appt left, this Friday at 2:30 (when my kids are getting out of school). Sigh. So I'm on the waitlist there too My husband works in Richmond but hasn't joined any waitlists there.

Well hello neighbor! I got a waitlist notification around noon today from Save-on-Foods near home to book an appointment, so I took the first available spot Monday morning. And I got another notification from Costco that some spots were open but by the time I saw that e-mail they were all gone. Hopefully things come quickly for you too!

I had a nap when qork was done, kiddo woke me up to ask where dinner is... pizza it is!

My husband and I got the AZ vaccine first thing yesterday morning. Booked appointments as soon as the lowered the age in BC to 40 on Monday. Felt great all day yesterday, but it hit both of us like a ton of bricks over night last night - Fever, chills, aches, pains, nausea. We are both better today, but still pretty tired. Totally worth it though, and still super excited to have started the vaccination process!

Thanks to all for writing your reactions (or no reaction), I am glad I always have lots of tylenol and advil on hand (I get migraines a lot). I have a walmart grocery order for pick up in the morning and I wonder if I should move it to Friday just in case. We have plenty of food around any way, I just like to have them set up regularly now as it can be harder to get a spot.

Hubby and I both have appt now for May 8th at a pharmacy on 137th and 72nd Ave! I'm keeping us on all the waitlists though in case something closer to home/sooner pops up. But at least we have appointments!

I would move it.

Woah! AZ shots have almost doubled in the past two days!

The 8th of April, Pfizer - Toronto.

No side effects whatsoever. I self-inject with the exact same needle/same location, so maybe my arm just said, "Whatever".

 

[hdrolfe]

I would move it.

Moved to Saturday, and my jaw is aching. Not sure if that's the shot (I thought it would take longer to feel anything) or the fact I grind my teeth a lot. I'm sure I am going to think I have every symptom in the list over the next day or two.

Try a heating pad on your jaw. If it’s from tension of grinding your teeth it may help.

If you’re like me the jaw was the first symptom. It only lasted for a few hours, before giving way to everything else. Take care.

Well I’m now vaccinated with AZ here in BC.

bcwife76, I got a flurry of notifications all day as different waitlists came up. I started with an appointment on Monday morning next week, then another came to move it up to tomorrow afternoon and an hour later another that I could book for this evening. Hope you may see the same.

Now to get myself off of the lists so I’m not delaying others waiting for their notification...

Wife and I got the AZ this afternoon. One down. One to go.

So far arm has become increasingly sore throughout the evening. Will update tomorrow if any other reactions occur.

 

[Sunelis]

Getting my first shot of AZ this saturday.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Update...as the day wore on, my headache disappeared, but I started feeling nausea, and achy back and shoulders. I'm extremely tired....but whipped up some supper, and now watching Yellowstone. Dh has flu like symptoms. Fever/chills, achy all over and just a general feeling like cr ap. He's in bed watching the Oilers game. Heading to bed soon, and hopefully when we wake up tomorrow, we feel better....if not, we know we are having a good reaction, and building good immunity

 

[hdrolfe]

I went to bed at 10:30, though kiddo was an hour behind me so I didn't actually get to sleep then. At least he made his own snack. I was very tired and my jaw quite achy. This morning I am ok so far, more tired than usual, my injection arm is a bit achy, so not sure I'll last the whole day of work but also very glad I didn't have to drive anywhere as the roads are a big mess, snow fell and no salt/sanders out. Glad I moved that Walmart pick up to Saturday.

Still super happy to have had the shot!

This is me and my wife. I have muscle soreness like you describe (but no nausea thankfully). Wife has the fever and chills.

I'm waiting for my first Pfizer shot May 1st. Nausea and vomiting my most worrisome symptoms, hoping my seabands help.

Update:

AZ shot Tuesday, went to bed a bit early last night, had a good (or what passes for good in my world!) night's sleep and woke up this morning feeling almost back to normal. The only lingering effect is the sore arm and even that is not as bad as it was yesterday.

My husband and I both received the Pfizer vaccine last week. Happy to report no side effects other than a sore muscle at injection site for him. I’m more relaxed and felt nothing.
