We were told 8 weeks till the second shot (which we unfortunately can't book yet because it's too far in advance), and had planned to wait until then. Unless recommended otherwise (i.e. that we should get it sooner and not simply that we can get it sooner), I'm inclined to wait for the full 8 weeks. |

We delayed our travel plans anyway.

Here is a link to a tweet from Alberta Vax Hunter quoting an official reply from AHS. The site definitely now lets you book for 3 weeks out, as well as 8 weeks out, as of at least this past weekend.

There are also some anecdotes of people having no trouble at all getting it early.
We have our son booked in for January 22nd already (8 weeks) but also were contemplating getting it done earlier in light of Omicron. Our pediatrician wouldn't commit one way or the other as long as reputable guidelines are followed (Pfizer and CDC obviously are).
It is just the 3 of us in the house, none with any high risk factors, kid wears N95 at school, and my wife and I are both boosted now too, and we are still limiting contacts. So... we're torn. But perhaps leaning toward just keeping the 8 week interval.
