Vaccination site: TVA claims chaos
TVA claims that the first day of public vaccination was chaotic, but at least partly because many people showed up hours in advance of their appointment times. CBC is a little more sanguine.

The information I received after reserving for my parents clearly states “don’t show up until 5 minutes prior to your appointment”. People are not following the guidelines. Or maybe that line was added in response to the situation yesterday?

It might also be that some people are brought to the sites by family members who may have other things to do, and aren’t entirely free to ferry their relatives around at specific times.

No, the line was there before the vaccinations opened, and indeed was there last fall for the flu shot. I think this is just first day kinks being worked out.

FWIW, after the announcement yesterday morning expanding the campaign to those 70+, my parents booked appointments at Palais des Congrès for 5:30. They arrived 15 minute early and were vaccinated before their scheduled appointment time. Couldn’t have gone better.

As someone who gets around using public transportation, I often show up early for things because I leave far enough in advance that I don’t arrive late even if there are delays in the metro. I wonder if they have said to people making appointments whether it is okay to arrive late for one’s appointment. If I was confident enough that it would not be a problem for me to arrive late, that I would not miss my appointment, I might not need to leave so much extra wiggle room in my journey.
