While Canadians raced to get vaccinated against COVID-19 early in the pandemic, only 15 per cent of the population had their updated shot this fall. But the virus is still spreading.

I only got the invitation in November or so, checked the appt. dates near me and they all sucked - far away or during work. I checked again couple of weeks ago and they had way more slots so I managed to get one close by on a weekend, but I could easily see someone not bothering due to the lack of availability.

I was in the same situation as you, but on the Monday before being able to get my shot, I got the 'vid.

So, no shot for me this time around.

Can’t you just go into a Shoppers and get one? That’s what I did. Just a walk-in back in the first week of November

Yes you can. I got a same day appointment at the Rexall near my home.

At least in MB, appointments were still required last time I checked.

Weird. I live in Ottawa and it was literally just walking into my local SDM. I got it and my annual flu shot at the same time.
