Snowbirds who headed to Florida this winter — despite Canada's advisory not to travel abroad during the pandemic — have discovered an unexpected perk: They can sign up to get the COVID-19 vaccine potentially months before it's available to seniors in Canada.

Canadian snowbird Perry Cohen, 74, of Toronto said that he and his wife, Rose, 71, each got the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in Florida on Tuesday.

The couple are spending the winter at a condo they own in Deerfield Beach, Fla. On New Year's Day, they were invited to sign up for a vaccination clinic set up in their gated community.

 

"I guess we were in the right place at the right time," Cohen said, adding they're both booked to get their followup dose of the vaccine in three weeks.

"What a nice way to start the new year."

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I'll be happy when I, as a senior, can get the vaccine here as a resident of Texas.

Follow weekly COVID shipments to Texas on this page. it might give you a clue where to try signing up. You can go to any County to get your vax. The first pages are hub sites, followed by an alphabetical list by county of smaller shipments.
