RE:RE:ONTARIO: EVERYONE OVER 18 GETS VACCINE BY END OF MAY.You need to do your research before you start mouthing off. Allow me to school you. ;)
Typically, it takes anywhere from one day to two weeeks to get your shot after you book. As you would know if you've already had your shot, it depends on how fast on the draw you are when the online booking opens, and how willing you are to travel to different sites in your region.
What you clearly DON'T know is the efficacy you have after the first shot.
Pfizer: Out of the gate 52% coverage with the first shot, moving up to 92% after 14-21 days as the antibodies in you develop.
The second shot only boosts your coverage an extra 3%, one week after the 2nd shot. As you can see, that 2nd shot is in no way a game-changer, and it's the fitst shot that makes all the difference in the world. That being said, I'll take an extra 3% any day.
Moderna: 80% coverage out of the gate, moving to 92% after 14 days.
The 2nd shot moves it up another 2%, 14 days after the 2nd shot is administered.
Astrazenica: Coverage takes 22-90 days to build in, and maxes out at 76%.
The 2nd shot boosts it up an additional 10% over the first shot, up to the 82% level.
J&J: This is just a single shot and gives you up to 66% coverage "over time" (wtf does that mean?)
So as you can see, the BIG difference is going to be on the first shot. This alone will bring the infection rate down. The 2nd shot? Let's just call it the sprinkles on the icing of a nice cake. But the icing and the cake are the first shot. Lesson over. You've been schooled. Here's the link if you want to read one of many articles on this.

It says that anyone over the age of 18 can START booking an app't by the end of May, big difference , then we have to wait 4 months or do to get our booster shot, I got my first shot almost 2 weeks ago, second shot scheduled for late July,
now push that schedule four months after the last of the 18 year olds , that takes us till late fall at least. It's coming together albeit at a slow pace, I hope AC can make it till then.
