How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

My husband and I have now both had our first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in the last week. Because Canada's supply of vaccine is limited we have taken the unprecedented step of delaying our second doses for 16 weeks. I think that is risky...but we have no say ... so we wont get our second doses till August. I suspect that we could still catch covid waiting for our second shot. What does delaying it do to our immunity .. its like a giant science experiment ... I guess as a country we will know by the fall if its a problem not having our second doses sooner. They made the decision to do everyone with first doses then start on second doses they figured it provides good protection with one dose but do they really know for how long?!
