This doesn’t even look fun WITHOUT a pandemic 

I was born and raised in the Sunshine State, and I can confirm that Miami has never been fun.

I had some amazing trips there in my youth, but that would not be fun these days....due to how people are and how old I am, now.

I did the Daytona Beach thing for spring break my freshman year of college. I am sure I was just as obnoxious as these kids are now. It was bike week when I was there. I remember riding on the back of motorcycles in my bikini. My current self would give my younger self a stern talking to. But that was my only Florida spring break. Senior spring break I went to New Orleans. That’s is a whole new level of spring breaking. 

Grand Theft Agnes?

I'm wondering when it will mutate to our benefit!

I intend to catch it and become tall!

So in New Brunswick they are waiting 16 weeks between shots. I did some research on this and am not impressed at all.

availability issue?

Has to be. I really don't care about me having it spaced out and need to find out more from older friends and family but it looks like most have to wait that long as of right now. I think the larger provinces need to get the most doses even more than the fair amount would be per capita. It is obvious the larger municipalities are hit the worst and should the most attention. That said why am I getting vaccinated in a week just so I can wait for 16 weeks while someone older and more vulnerable could have a double dose in under a month instead. I get that there is some protection with the single dose but with a province like mine that have hospitals that barely ever see a covid patient why are we not just protecting the ones that need it most with both shots right now? Makes no sense to me especially with having one shot you can still easily get it and have symptoms.

BC is also 16 weeks. We had a discussion about this in this thread when the decision was made a few weeks back. While it's outside of the manufacturer's guidelines it does have some support from available evidence. It gets first doses into many more people, which leads to an estimated 90% level of protection once you get beyond 2 weeks from the first dose. In fact, there is even some evidence that immunity will be greater with the delay in doses. 

What information led you to be not impressed?

Must of missed that discussion somehow or old age is kicking lol. I get it but its a huge risk imo. I need to do some research but the first couple of articles I read were not that promising.
