Good to see this thread getting bumped up again!

Ya, I wonder how many second shots haven't been recorded.
I don't want a booster until more of the world has a chance at a first dose
Colour me unpopular on a social media site devoted to travelling outside of our own country but I 100% agree with this sentiment! I consider myself beyond privileged to even afford travel and stay overnight outside of my own city and province never mind country. I can't with a clear conscience even think about getting a booster shot so I'm considered fully vaccinated outside of Canada when other countries currently don't have access to even first doses. Does it bother me that I'll need to wait until 2023 to go back to Disney (for personal reasons we can't travel at any time of the year other that Jan/Feb and 2022 isn't feasible for other reasons)? Damn straight it does, but that's just how it will need to play out for the 2 of us. By that point I'm confident that things will be more settled into the new normal.Dr. Strang in NS has already stated that NS will NOT be doing third doses as he would like to see the world get vaccinated. So until the various governments start to recognize mixing, those people will be SOL for travel.
I’m torn about this. We (1st world countries) are wasting doses right *now* that could be used as boosters and would never be shipped abroad in time. Also, the rest of the world needs our economies back at full steam if we are expected to pay for their doses too - a major part of those economies (for good or bad) is tourism related.Colour me unpopular on a social media site devoted to travelling outside of our own country but I 100% agree with this sentiment!

This is my thought as well. It's such a tough call, and I fully support that all countries should have access to the vaccine, but if the doses are already here and they're recommending it I'll likely take a booster since the doses will be wasted if they aren't used. Of course I'd prefer other countries are vaccinated before I get my booster, but no one wins if doses get thrown out because people are refusing them.I’m torn about this.

I get that as a very valid point, hear what you're saying and even agree to a certain degree - it is VERY wasteful for us to simply refuse vaccines that are currently within our country. However, for me it comes down to the knowledge of the WHY I would be getting that booster shot. If it's only so i can be recognized as fully vaccinated in order to travel or go to a live performance then no, I can't do that because I have a rather annoyingly large justice-based streak to my personalityThis is my thought as well.

I got my 3rd dose last week. But I got a dose that was going to be thrown out because it was leftover after the vaccination center where my father's wife works closed for the day,
