How long do you have to wait?  The Moderna only had a 21 day wait between doses I believe and Pfizer was four weeks.  

Twenty eight days... I'm well past that. I had my first Pfizer dose on April 29th. I have a scheduled second dose for Aug. 19th, but the Ontario government is trying to move them up. I can call and rebook on July 19th. That one would be Pfizer. They keep updating the website... last week is was Aug. 2 before I could rebook. In hot spots, people in my bracket can book for an accelerated second dose already. These drive through clinics near me are offered because we have received a lot of Moderna doses this week.

Mum says she would avoid mixing them if at all possible. I know you're anxious to cuddle the young ones but be patient. You've done it for this long.

Tell Mum I said thanks.

Anyone have an opinion about mixing Pfizer and Moderna doses? There is a drive through clinic near me and I could get a second shot this afternoon if I accept the Moderna. I had Pfizer for my first shot. 

As several people have said, that's really a question for a professional.

They do, as clo says, both use the same technology (mRNA sequencing), so it could be safe in an emergency.

My opinion would be the same as what dugh's mum suggests.

I agree with this. It's no different than mixing any other two drugs; we just don't know how they might effect each other.

The Ontario doctors who are on TV every day are saying it's fine to mix them, but they also say data is limited because no clinical studies for mixing doses have been completed yet. But, they say there is no reason to suspect issues. The official Canadian website says both things as well... get the same dose as the first(recommended) but if it's not readily available, it's okay to get the second from a different vaccine. The US FDA recommends getting the same vaccine for both shots. Hence, the confusion... the sooner I get the second dose the sooner I can hold my grandchildren. Three of my kids and kids-in-law who are eligible are getting the Moderna tonight, and the others are not sure yet. There are two more clinics over the next week.   

This has been a big question here as we have just changed the age guidelines for the AZ (a couple of days ago). Strong advice here is go with the first dose. The medical officials say that the idea of mixing doses is “interesting” but there are no clinical studies available. Some very recent work suggests that the reaction to the different jab is higher but you won’t grow a second or third head and no ones arm fell off. No news yet on how well it provides protection but that work could be published “soon”.

My advice would be go with the same dose unless you speak with your medical professional first. I am booked in for my second AZ on Saturday.

Ask your doc, get the right jab for you, hug your grandkids

My second shot with Pfizer is on Sunday with my brother. At 9am! ugh I might have been a bit excited when I booked that appointment  I'll have to brib him to buy my breakfast afterwards, I'll deserve it

Remember I once said my aunt did a training to make massages and had planned on making it a part time job with maybe a collaboration with my soap making hobby?

Well it's a bit more complicated as she had to register as an auto entrepreneur but turns out she has to pay more taxes than she makes money.

So today she asked me if I'd be interested in creating an association with her (you need at least 2 names on the paperwork). Legally associations don't pay taxes so that would be the main point. We'd need to talk more in details but being an association I could organized workshops on making your own cleaning products and soap and cosmetic products, fused both our fileds to make a big one on self care. My cousin have already asked me to do one about soap making for her association this autumn.

OMG I have been complaining about the cold but didn’t realise until today just how cold it’s been.

The guy across the road was wearing trousers, his entire legs were covered in fabric, OMG he always always always wears shorts. It must be Arctic temperatures 

[Bucket1]

Mmmmmm so good in the sunshine. I had lunch by the River on my way back from a meeting, a Mediterranean chicken rissole and Vietnamese salad. A Spring kind of lunch… delicious 

I keep promising to do this more often…

At the end it says "with every person who get vaccinated life gets back to normal a bit more"

A couple of ladies in mum's neighborhood know it must be cold when I wear long pants to walk in the morning. The one lady's usual greeting is ... "Aren't you freezing?" I wear long sleeves, usually a light hoody and often gloves, my fingers on the left hand chill faster than the rest of me.

Happy Friday, all!   I've decided to hold off on getting the Moderna vaccine. Thanks for the input.
