Canadian China relation are strained due to Canada holding a Chinese Business person on extradition order from USA , in retaliation China charged two Canadians with espionage and threw them into Prison, then withdrew from the Cv19 vaccine program once it was finally formulated.
So the whole issue deserves more than a Ho hum!
The irony is that Canadians can get the Sino vaccine here in DR..
Mine is at 11:00 hrs today.
Sometimes we cannot see the firest through the trees.

I received the Sinovac vaccine yesterday in Santiago.....it took 2 hours in total to do so. You merrely complete a form with your name and address and a next of kin.....provide a cedula and you receive a certificate with the date of your 2nd shot which will be 29/03/2021 in my case
Still swamped this AM.....
So I went to the country Loma Alta
Done in 25-30 minutes.....they did my paperwork......10 -12 minutes sit/wait time after incl in that 25 min
Sinovac...... 30 day 2nd shot booked
Easy peasy......
Get out of town to avoid the lines
sounds about right.... invented somewhere else, but mada in china....
The government didn't support the labs. The labs were/are capable and there are production facilities in 4 provinces.
I went to local vaccine site at 10:45 this morning. Stood in line until 14:15 hrs. Was then told to go inside with a group. They were packed in like sardines . Tjen the Police got agressive and told everyone to go back outside . That caused an uproar and pushing and shoving of people and Police.
Police confnscated the recording cell pnones then it became a more unruly mob...i stepped outside and went to a restaurant for a chair and to feed the diabetes which was one hour overdue.
No vaccine for me today.
Maybe never if i have to go through such a fiasco again. Many of the agressors were not yet within the 70 to 79 age group , much younger.
Quite the zoo...hope i do not catch Covid19 again. Lol🧙♂️🌿😰

Look a bit farther afield Russel....... that's what I did
Lees crowds, more civil
Lees crowds, more civil
I plan to isolate for a while to e sure that body sweat shop did not transfer covid to me... then ,well, who knows.
When I was scouting the local hospital in Cabrera......the crowding bothered me
Going to the campo solved all that
I never went in..... Cabrera
In the hills, I sat a bit inside - distanced ans spent the rest of the time outside w/ a beer

Got mine today went in at lunch time behind the Firemen Station in and out within an hour they asked you to wait for 15 minutes to see if you have a reaction my reaction was amazement at the efficiency they refused a few Dominicans 50 years of age told them to come back when they were older or at the next stage -------they are vaccinating some Hospital workers and some military.. I realize some of the other vaccines maybe a little better but they have to be stored at much lower temperatures -70 whether this could be carried out successfully is another issue ...having lived here happily for many years you soon develop a plan B.. A is what you would like B is what is available if you cannot accept plan B you'll probably happier living somewhere else.. there is a lot on the BBC news about the Sinovac vaccine I can post a link if that's allowed ?
