I finally got my second vaccination. I got my first dose of Astra Zenica on the 1st of April...two days later, the Irish government decided they were going to stop giving it to the under 50s. As it stood the waiting time for AZ was supposed to be 12 weeks, but they extended it to 16 to see if there was a possibility they could give a different second dose.
Luckily for me (i guess) Europe decided to stop buying AZ this month, so Ireland decided to rush all the second doses through.
No matter. I'm done, and i have the cert to prove it. Now open Prague up so i can go on holiday.

Glad you got your second shot, and that you live near places that would actually be interesting to visit.
@very-musty saidHeard the Eastern European architecture is picture perfect over there, and the women to match. 😀

@Trev33
What was that country you told me about that doesn't care if you had a record?
Somewhere in the Mediterranean...
@huckleberryhound saidCongratulations. Here in the US, we seem to be down to those who may not take the vaccine under any circumstances. I don't think the US can expect any kind of "herd immunity" until enough people have been vaccinated and if we never get there because of these "refuseniks" then their fears will be self-fulfilling that this virus and precautions will never go away.

My suggestion would be to take a legible picture of your card with your phone so that you can retrieve it on your phone to show authorities who may request it. This is especially important if you travel.

@huckleberryhound saidmy wife got the astra vax through her gp practice, the first went well but they failed to contact her with a date for her 2nd jab ( she is very vunerable she hat sjogrens syndrome (an auto immune illness) I contacted the nhs direct and they sorted her 2nd jab, very annoyed with her gp service.

@torunn saidIt's getting better apparently.
How is the situation in Canada? My daughter hopes to visit her family in Toronto and she will have her second vaccination before that.
We are starting to open back up but they have tried that a few times before so we'll see how it goes.
I live about an hour from Toronto.
I would recommend having your family member wait until next year to visit. Just to be safe.
