Well, that is important to know, but her odds are clearly better with the needle.
Yes for sure. She’s just worried as she had the heart attack 2 years ago. But the doctors said she’s better off getting the vaccine v C19.
Shes just a panicky one for anything. I’ll take her to get the shot and make sure all goes well. If I could do it first I would but who knows when I’m able to get an appt.

Take your healthcard. It doesn't hurt to ask since you are there anyway.
She’s the last appt of the day. Good call.
Good suggestion. My elderly dad had an appointment, my mom didn't. Not sure if there was a no-show, but they gave my mom a shot as well.

I get 3 cents off gas, full medical insurance when travelling, and a couple of flights to Europe each year. Let’s the wife come for free when I’m on business. Also get airline lounges (free expensive scotch), visa concierge and the unstated benefits of a black card.
If there was no Covid, I’d have sucked up the extra $200 for TDs card as that is another level, but I’m not spending big on travel these days so RBC is ok.

Seriously, I have yet to make any. I suspect mixing aloe Vera gel and isopropyl causes the glycerine level to be too low (dilution) you get a soupy liquid. It will work but it will be very runny. You need to ad glycerine, probably 1% to get the gel consistency.
I forgot about the vip lounge visits too...I like that benefit! Never actually been in one before moving to Canada. First time in and was told “there’s the booze, have at it” ..or words to that effect. Me and the wife were whisked across Houston airport in a speedy golf cart as we were having a blast in the lounge and lost track of time. Made the plane with a few mins to spare and the cart driver relished the challenge!

The first time I used an airline lounge was around 1985. My connection in Toronto was late, I had to wait 5 hours to catch the next flight. I was in the lounge with 1 other person, John Turner, ex PM at the time. For 5 hrs We played rummy and drank so much scotch and grand marnier that the didn’t want to let either of us on the flight to LAX. Fortunately he had some pull and got us both on.
I thank him for showing me how to enjoy an airline lounge.
They knew there was going to be a viable vaccine, let alone 3, tested, approved and ready to go by February12 months ago?

BMO world elite black card. We have Amex , a TD visa and TD Visa US dollar card and someplace a PC financial card. I use the BMO for 90% of stuff, the travel ins is well worth the annual fee, the points system works very well , I also love airport lounges (or did) .
My wife will think things through and use whatever card is appropriate for what she is doing, to maximize points and returns. I don't think that hard.
Oakville hospital is cubed out with covid patients , many were moved in from other districts, now its all ours. Good job Oakville! Now we need to keep the people that need to walk the waterfront to go to Heart lake or Simcoe and stay the heck out of Oakville .

I have the Scotia infinite cash back no lounge access but it doubles the warranty on anything I buy with it and covers cellphone accidental damage.

Reassure her with the reality that nearly 3/4 of a billion people have been vaccinated around the world now...and as we all know now the side effects are extremely limited or of zero consequence.
If you listened to the antivaxxers and other such nonsense you'd think half a billion people would have died or whatever by now, but if there's one positive thing coming out of this it's that it's defusing all their arguments.
I think any reasonable person would have been able to safely assume that yes, eventually, there would be a vaccine. Clinical trials were happening last summer with results starting to come in already. They knew with a minimum of 6 months *something* was coming. Planning the booking procedures and websites should have started then and the sites should have been online and tested by fall or early winter at the latest, ready and waiting. Instead, Ontario waited until March 15'th....when the first shots were starting to go in arms 3 months before that on December 14'th. A completely unnecessary 3 month delay at worst, and 6 months at best.
No excuse. At all. It's zero surprise some municipalities said "**** this" and came up with their own booking websites beforehand. And now here we are with a fractured system as a result.

They are approved under emergency use only . Big difference from approved .
Semantics.
Show me one other clinical trial that has had this much scrutiny with this many subscribers with this few side effects.
I'll wait.
Just heard in the news that South Africa and China gave thousands of fake vaccines,
