During the month of July the vaccination centre will be using both Pfizer and Moderna for adults over the age of 18. The vaccine used on your appointment date depends on what supply has been made available and the vaccine clinic does not have this information available in advance. You will be advised at the door before entering for your appointment which product is being used that day.
A buddy has an appointment at Cornell in a few days, and received an email today saying that Moderna will be served. I too have an appointment on the same day, but received no such email. So we'll see.

Pfizer shipment will be reduced in the first 2 weeks of July. So it is possible that some clinics may have to switch to Moderna. But Cornell has not received any Moderna as of today.
The reduced shipment would be made up in the 3rd and 4rd week of July, and there should be plentiful of Pfizer at that time.

This is good news but, source?
This is the email received, appointment at Cornell in a few days.

I received similar email last week, the day before my appt but ended up getting pfizer (not at Cornell though). so it's probably just a generic email, actual vaccine still depends on supply that day

This
And it’s true EVERYWHERE across Canada / Ontario
Vaccine is being distributed under an EMERGENCY PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER … using a JUST IN TIME DELIVERY METHOD
Locations will get whatever is available in the pipeline
Some clinics may sure only ever see one kind (ie Pharmacies & AZ )
But most mass vax clinics are gonna get whatever is available for distribution on any given day … be that Moderna or Pfizer as Canada for the most part has now adopted a mix & match strategy
You will receive an mRNA vaccine (either Moderna or Pfizer) at the clinic depending on supplies and age eligibility.
If you had Moderna or Pfizer for your first dose you can safely take either Moderna or Pfizer for your second dose for strong protection against COVID-19covid 19.
If you had AstraZeneca for your first dose you can safely take either Moderna, Pfizer or AstraZeneca for your second dose for strong protection.

Cornell is Pfizer only.
There is no Moderna at Cornell.
A friend yesterday said she got Pfizer and the nurse told her they only have Pfizer but the people outside said they were going to start Moderna today (July 7). I would trust the nurse to have more direct info. We'll see.
I am getting mine at Cornell today. Will update once I know which I am getting.
Some people just don't get that online forum posts shouldn't always be taken seriously.

Cornell still only have Pfizer today. So you will get Pfizer.

Got a Ray Twinney Rec centre appt. tomorrow. Website says Pfizer and I hope the situation there is the same as Cornell...ie Pfizer.
Ray Twinney has both Pfizer and Moderna, and they are giving both to adults as of today.
I am not sure how they determine who gets which vaccine - based on your first dose, or appointment?
And they have opened up like 12,000 second dose appointments in the next 10 days!!

BTW. I and a few family members all got the same emails and we all got Pfizer. So the message is just generic.

According to the delivery schedule Ontario is getting less Pfizer this week. Usually close to 940K down to about 340K. But they are also getting less Moderna; 1.5 million previous week to about 550K this week. Not sure how this translates to what actually gets to the clinics because there's always about a million doses buffer.

Confirmed today, they have both moderna and Pfizer and they will give you what you want.
Btw York region book vaccine site showed NO APPT AVAILABLE.
If you click BOOK there were lots as of yesterday.
We're all bozos on the bus until we find a way to express ourselves...
Failure is always an option...just not the preferred one!
Found it interesting York region gives you a info sheet.
It says....the SAME mRna COVID 19 vaccine should be offered for the second dose if available.
When I was at Scarborough Town Centre vaccination centre yesterday...they had both but they flat out refused giving me Pfizer even though it was available.

Yup … Supply & Demand
At Mass Vax Clinics the push has been on towards :
Pfizer being primarily dedicated to the young (< 12), the old (over 80), and the immune compromised
Moderna for everyone else who got 1st shots of Moderna, Pfizer, or AstraZeneca
I would expect that if there was tons of Pfizer … then people would be able to choose more for themselves / their preference
