LOL...I was waiting for it.

Children 5-11 is getting a Pfizer 2-dose shot this year, so they need the boogeyman to sell it.

“In the meantime, [the department] is appealing to everyone to vaccinate, get boosters,. ... "

They don't even allow you (at Dischem) to get a booster beyond the 2 they've allocated for everyone.

Tried a few weeks ago, and they refused. Last one I had was on the 21st July.

Plus, of the ones they have available, they don't even cover any of the newer variants (in the last 6 months at least, maybe even longer).

All this, according to the nurse I spoke to a few weeks ago at Dischem.

Also good luck finding boosters.

Correct - what they were doing then was collecting names, then grouping people into 6 or 8 at a time (I forget exactly which) ; then calling them to come in the next day, as they need to ensure they open and use up a batch at a time, so none go to waste (apparently).

Been monitoring it for the last few weeks as it was already in the UK. They have changed nothing. Some ministers are trying to get masks going again but to no avail. Why do you even need to meet for this?
