Last night, I accompanied my husband to the Convention Centre for his Pfizer vaccine. You line up to get in, you line up to answer health questions and fill out a form, you line up to check in with your health card, and you line up to get the vaccine. The nurse asks you more questions, and then you wait for the syringe to be delivered by someone else. Then you wait in another part of the room for 15 minutes in case there are side effects, and finally you check out with another employee who provides a receipt with all the relevant information about the vaccine.
It's not disorganized, but it's overly complicated and bureaucratic, and one should expect to be standing for an hour with too many people around. Fortunately I had just received my N99 respirators from Vitacore, a BC company.
Apparently, Ontario administered about 76,000 doses yesterday. I don't see them ramping up even though the province now has 1.4 million vaccines ready to go. There has been such a lack of urgency since the beginning of the pandemic. Too many people smoking too many joints, perhaps?
If I was Patty Hajdu and Justin Trudeau I would be telling Ford to use the vaccines or be cut off.
Not cut off from Ontarians - but cut off from the Government of Ontario.

I am curious how did you book that one and who was running it? I read in The Star about the City run clinics by William Osler which are supposed to be the opposite; they view themselves as offering a "flight attendant service" (their term) as opposed to a "assembly line service". The whole philosophy they talked about was to sit someone down in one single spot and have everything come to them, rather than that person go to all the different service spots in the facility.Last night, I accompanied my husband to the Convention Centre for his Pfizer vaccine.

Rangers vs. Blue Jays has largest crowd at U.S. sporting event during pandemic
Rangers vs. Blue Jays has largest crowd at U.S. sporting event during pandemic
The Texas Rangers' home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays became the first sporting event in the United States to have a capacity crowd.www.sportsnet.ca
This was at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, which is between Dallas and Fort Worth in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
In that game, the Blue Jays won with a score of 6-2.
They are more beholden to China now, than they were then.Since when?! The largest contributor to the WHO is the U.S. Also, where exactly do you think SARS started?
NOTE: as of 2020, the US contributes almost as much to the WHO as the next three countries combined.

I've now heard very similar things from three different people (all in their early 60s or late 50s who qualify for the pharmacies). They all registered, then were told to wait and that they would be contacted when an appointment was available. They wait several days or a week or more without being contacted, then hear from others who have already gotten vaccinated and registered well after they did, or even by walking into the pharmacy without an appointment.... at a pharmacy... Bureaucracy and inefficiency in the private sector.
