I'm booked for first Pfizer shot on Tuesday. I'm on leave from work so perfect time to get it.

I went onto Twitter last night and found a bunch of idiots calling Australia fascist because the Queensland government is building a dedicated quarantine facility at Towoomba to be used instead of hotel quarantine. They literally were saying it was a Nazi death camp. Probably the same idiots that have been spreading Covid around NSW instead of staying home.

Had mine on Thursday, if you can get one our work will pay you while you go out and get it if it's during work hours. I left at 12.30, waited from 1.00 til 1.58, left at 2.15, got told I could go home rather than back to work.

But, am in Brisbane, there's essentially a 6 week+ wait for pfizer, some places being told 3 months, so we have people driving 1.5 hours out to the country to get one when a new regional clinic opens up (Esk was the latest). Other than that, have to keep checking in case someone cancels and an appointment opens up (which happened to me, just randomly checked at 10.30am on Thursday, booked instantly and got it same day). They also say to call up centers and ask if there were any no-shows otherwise they have to throw them out.

Good thing too was they were booking people in afterwards 'same time in 22 days ?' so that was good.
