Shantell Powell<p>Very frustrated. The new COVID vaccines are available for high-risk people, but when I tried to book an appointment, the person on the line had no information on where I can get my booster shot. I was told I'd need to call each pharmacy to find out. </p><p>Why the hell doesn't Ontario's vaccine program have that information? I don't have the energy to call every pharmacy in the Waterloo region. How is this acceptable? The healthcare around here is a total joke, and not a funny one. </p><p>Does anyone know what pharmacies might have the new vaccine yet? I already have long COVID, and I know a lot of people who've recently caught COVID. I do NOT want to get infected again. My quality of life will take another dive. <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-vaccines#section-6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ontario.ca/page/covid-19-vacci</span><span class="invisible">nes#section-6</span></a> </p><p>Edit: I have found that only Shoppers Drug Mart can do it. This is a weird monopoly and I don't like it, but at least it's available. I don't know why the Ontario COVID hotline doesn't have this information. What a clusterfuck.
