For me personally I couldn't care less. It's between the ma and her doctor. If they want to advertise it I couldn't care less. If I'm asked to show proof I'll just move along. As it's my private business. Same as my children and family. I don't need to inform anyone anything.
Not sure why it matters. If you're not vaccinated, you can still get it from someone who is. The vaccine protects against symptoms, not against being a carrier.
It matters that the SP/MA won't get sick of course. The biggest thing about the vaccine is that when you get it YOU are safe, but those around you who are not vaccinated are not, and can catch it from anyone who is vaccinated and is a carrier. And because people feel they're safe, they're more likely to take risks, and can infect the people around them who are not yet vaccinated. Only when everybody who wants the vaccine gets one, will things start returning to normal. And the only cases left will be those who choose not to be vaccinated, or can't (otherwise known as Darwin's Law).

Wouldn’t it be great if they had inserted a 5G microchip with a Darwin Award into the virus?
Oh well, I’ll take my chances with the vaccine/microchip. At least I’ll get better cell reception when Doug Ford cuts off Rogers again to keep us at home on the wifi.
I am not 40+ but have gotten the covid vaccine because I am a frontline worker in real life. There are other ladies who have real life jobs where their job requires the vaccine as they work in healthcare. I advertise my vaccination status because it gives some gents peace of mind. I also get texts where gents tell me they have received their vaccine as well so that also gives me peace of mind. We are living in different times, just trying to maneuver the best we can in unfamiliar territory. The more we can make people feel comfortable and vice versa, the more at ease clients and providers will feel.
I'm just curious as I have heard some friends and family outside Canada get sick after the shot within 2 to 3 days. Has anyone ever heard of their friends or relatives getting sick from it?
Is there science to support this? I have heard this argument before (vaccinated ppl can still spread the virus) and have also heard others argue against it. The way I understand this argument is that it might be possible for a vaccinated person could pass the virus it has yet to be substantiated. The most likely scenario, from the jumbled "facts" presented is that a person who cant get the virus cant spread the virus. Though this view is also not substantiated by facts. There are just so many ppl passing information on as facts when we really dont know for sure and it ends up spreading misinformation.
You can definitely get flu like symptoms for a day or two after. This is true with any vaccine. It’s not an infection, it’s your immune system reacting against the vaccine, just like it would with a virus.
I have a family member who had the astra shot. Bed ridden for a week now.
There were no real symptoms with the first Pfizer dose but I was fatigued and had a bit of the fever for the first 24 hours after receiving the second dose (three weeks later). My employment allowed me to receive both doses. One strategy to reduce the symptoms of a vaccine is to take Tylenol an hour before your jab.

I got the AZ shot and was knocked out for a two days. Woke up the second night with a fever. I am in my 40s and cannot recall the last time I had a fever. This is a sign the vaccine is stimulating your immune system and it is reacting to a novel pathogen as it should. Secondly, it might be an indication as to how you would respond to the real virus (not good for me).
Finally, there is evidence that some vaccinations lower transmission. For example, there are preliminary indications that the AZ vaccine lowers transmission by 67%. Not perfect but it would still make a major impact on the pandemic. https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-c...the-primary-analysis-of-phase-iii-trials.html
there is no proof yet that if fully vaccinated whether you can or not stil transmit virus. That was prolem with design studies - they only wanted to know if vaccine was effective at stopping illnness etc, death. Are studies now ongoing to ascertain this
All FACTS about the vaccine is available openly if you choose to do the work and type your question into Google. Try it, it’s amazing.
Citing family and friends outside of Canada or making statementS of being a carrier despite being vaccinated is how this stupid pandemic continues to keep going. SMH.

I know 6 people including myself that got the Pfizer vaccine, no one got side effects or sick. I know 4 people that got the astra zeneca and they are all fine as well. I got the flu shot in Jan and had to sit there for 15 mins which is normal so the pharmacist can monitor you. I felt really dizzy as soon as she stuck me and fell asleep in the chair minutes after getting it, but when I woke up I was fine. That was the only time i've ever had a side effect from any vaccination.

The vaccine will def. react differently in all of us based on our unique DNA - is he/she feeling better though as oppose to day 1 in bed rest mode.
Make that 7 Alma. I had side effects from the flu shot this year but absolutely nothing from the Pfizer shot. But I haven't had the second shot yet!
