There are literally no guarantees on what will be there when you get there
The Govt is using a JUST IN TIME DELIVERY system

Best strategy … take what is available

It’s best to get vaccinated ASAP

I'm not looking to revive the arguments in those threads around vaccine mixing. However, I will say that you can get a pretty good idea about what will be available at certain clinics. Some clinics have a sign outside saying something like "Moderna only for 18+". Other clinics, like the one at Cortellucci Hospital, have only had Pfizer ever since the vaccine distribution began.
Regardless of your views around vaccine mixing, I don't think it can hurt to have more data about which vaccines are offered at which clinics.

Ya, and I am saying …
It can change day to day.

So what’s “on tap” today … might not be what’s served tomorrow
(Forget last week on July 6th)

So unless you can book in for an appointment on the same day as you hear what’s on offer that day

It can mean literally nothing.

Lots of people are frustrated by this … cuz they are SHOPPING AROUND for a particular one

But that’s pretty silly … in the big scheme of things

Better to be FULLY VACCINATED sooner than later. So as to benefit from the coverage … cuz in the meantime you aren’t nearly as well protected with one dose as you might assume

sure but we certainly don't need more threads on the same topic or we would have 1 for each of the thousands of locations.

Sure, I agree with everything you said.

However, literally anything can change at any moment (not just from day to day). I don't think that means that we can't get some idea of what will be offered in the near future. As I say, some clinics have only had Pfizer ever since the vaccine distribution began. What's the probability that will change tomorrow? Not 0% for sure, but I wouldn't say it's likely either.

Also, some people really do have an appointment today (or whenever they're reading this thread). If they're hesitant about vaccine mixing, this could give them an opportunity to cancel their appointments ahead of time so that they're spot it freed up for another person.

Well King was a Pfizer only clinic until today. You would certainly receive a Pfizer dose.

As of today it's Moderna for adults and Pfizer. Just like the other York run clinics.

York Region has this info clearly posted on their website. For Trisan (and I believe ALL other clinics) they are giving Moderna to 18+ and Pfizer to ages 12-17. I think this is the case until at least July 18th.

There was an email sent out yesterday to registrants that Trisan Centre will only offer Moderna due to supply issues.

Thanks, I have an appointment at Trisan in 2hrs. Was about to head there thinking it was Pfizer but noticed the page has changed.

More vaccine shopping. SMH

Book Cornell using the provincial system for today. They're giving out pfizer. Last I checked, there were still same-day appointments left.

Thanks hereforit. Unfortunately will be doable for me but not my siblings (need green health card to book)

This - for York Region, Moderna for 18+, Pfizer is reserved for ages 12 - 17.....this is true for today as my family member got their 2nd dose today at Richmond Green and was informed as such.


Also posted on the York Region vaccination webpage - all Pfizer is reserved for the younger folks (12 - 17)

Did you have an appointment for today or later in the week?

In Ontario …
A OHIP Card / Green Health Care Card IS NOT REQUIRED to book a vaccine appointment
They accept other forms of ID / proof of residence

Yes, but some sites can't be booked without it online. To book you need to call a hotline. See the provincial booking tool.

So sounds like all York Region clinics (with the exception of SoccerCity) now have both Pfizer and Moderna for 18+?

Important Note
As of Monday, July 19, both mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) will be available at all York Region COVID-19 vaccination clinics with the exception of SoccerCity, who will deliver both mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) as of Tuesday, July 20.
