We're York region too! Sometimes it's good to live in a hot spot...lol. My son is 16 though so still have to wait on that second appointment. Good luck.I snagged an earlier appointment through vaccine hunters and got my second jab last Friday (AZ - Pfizer). Then on Saturday I hopped on the provincial booking system and moved my Dh's appointment up from July 3rd to yesterday (June 21). He also opted for Pfizer after an AZ 1st shot. Tomorrow morning I can book for my three sons as they had their first shot May 22nd and we are in a Delta hot spot (York Region). Can't wait until our whole family is protected!
I don't know about you but I live in a hot spot as well (Hamilton) and my 16 year old will be eligible tomorrow through the provincial booking system. When the system opens up on the 28th it's to 18+ in any region but hotspots didn't have the 18+ requirement.We're York region too! Sometimes it's good to live in a hot spot...lol.

Thanks. Yeah it's confusing. In this article, the general discussion is for adults, and I remember reading last week that tomorrow's booking is for 18+, but this link isn't clear for Jun 23 bookings. (His first dose was May 19 so date-wise he qualifies). Will sign in and see.

This is waaaay TMI, but my areas that babies suckle (dunno if the word is taboo) were so sore for a week after my first shot of AZ that I could barely stand even a t-shirt. So badreporting after yesterday's Pfizer jab:
holy sore arm and lymph node batman! I can barely move that dang thing right now, it hurts from my shoulder down to my fingers. Gawd that boob? Woah, it's like when i had to stop nursing my youngest cold-turkey when i needed emergency surgery for kidney stones when she was about 2 weeks old! I stumbled down to the kitchen to get some tylenol and thought an icepack might help with the pain but i can't find one. Headache is brutal as well - seems mostly one-sided and then like a belt is being synched around the base of my skull. It started exactly 12 hours after the shot which was about 2 hours after I went to bed so I'm exhausted. Luckily my hubby who was down for the count after the AZ jab took today "off" (works for himself so that just means he didn't book any meetings) and he was able to drive me to my appointment so I was able to sleep both directions. I'm already feeling a bit better just exhausted but that's more than likely lack of sleep. The arm isn't pulsing anymore, the headache is subsiding but the dang lymph node is still extremely sore.

This is very confusing....
York Region (north part of Toronto for those not in Ontario) is actually opening 2 days later, on the morning of Friday June 25 instead of June 23.
https://www.york.ca/wps/portal/york...ccinationclinics/04covid19vaccinationclinics/However, their early second dose campaign includes adolescents.
In provincial booking system, it does NOT include adolescents even if you are in Delta hot spot. If you enter the Ontario provincial booking site, if you are over 18 with hot spot postal code, then you are allowed to booking second dose early. If you enter a 12-17 birth year (2004-2009) then it will display 4 month wait and ask you to book September if you had it in May? I think they expect the adolsecent to stay home this summer until the September school start? How about their outdoor summer sports and camps? How can they attend those if they are not given priority for second dose booking?
I know people just get frustrated and just line up without any appointment at a pop-up clinic. However, they take mostly postal code that starts with an "M". Does anyone know of a pop-up clinic that will accept "L" postal code without appointment for second dose?
By the way, I called the local pharmacies. Most of them replied they have a wait list with 3000 people on them.. and they get about 100 doses with each delivery. They tell me to spam my personal info to as many pharmacies as possible like dozens at a time since this is what people are doing. I didn't want to provide name and DOB everywhere so I told them no.
Yes very confusing. And yes, York region now states on their site that first vaccines on or before May 30 in one of the hot spots can sign up for second on Friday, not today. Interesting that the provincial is 18+ (which was what I read last week). York also opens it up for 18+ on Monday.This is very confusing....
