rhtunstall<p>This is so disheartening. <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HealthCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCanada</span></a> just continues to drop the ball on combatting <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a>. </p><p>This is beyond infuriating, and it’s all because of shady deals <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> made with <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Pfizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pfizer</span></a> and <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Moderna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moderna</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/Novavax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Novavax</span></a> is the only vaccine my <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/immunocompromised" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immunocompromised</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bced" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bced</span></a> k-12 wife can take without heart palpitations. It’s also the only vaccine I will take period due to health complications with the others. </p><p>Health Canada has also always made Novavax difficult to get. Despite living in busy Burnaby, we regularly had to drive to Surrey or the back of Port Coquitlam to get a dose. </p><p>They always made it a long awkward drive because they wanted us to choose moderna or pfizer out of laziness. The other “govt preferred” options were always available at the Walmart 5 minutes away.</p><p>They have now decided to force us into these other options or simply not get vaccinated at all. </p><p>Looks like my <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bced" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bced</span></a> partner and I will not be vaccinated this fall due to <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HeathCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeathCanada</span></a>’s careless decision to forget about us again. </p><p>I have absolutely no faith this <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bcndp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bcndp</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bcgov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bcgov</span></a> will care about this either.

They have abandoned the vulnerable yet again.</p><p>I now wonder if we will ever get vaccinated in Canada again.
