Poke in the arm for justice!

I note, for both the greater good and the tangible, local good, that I received the latest Covid vaccine earlier today. I barely felt it, and I do mean that. The flu vaccine was much more noticeable, don't ask me why. So far, there's extremely mild arm soreness to note, mostly if I mess with the injection site, and that's it. Oh, and the low-grade warm fuzzies, but does it really count as a side effect if it's beneficial? :)

There were all kinds of vaccinations going on while I was in the pharmacy, too. I counted at least two others who definitely got one or more vaccines (as in Covid and flu shots together, I've done that myself in the past) before I left. This information made a local friend's day slightly brighter when I passed it to him. He was having what sounded like the mother of all rotten weeks, and I figured he would appreciate news of people taking care of both themselves and each other through science. I was right.

I know I have a longer, friendslocked post to write, but at the moment, I've got something of a mellow glow going, and I'd prefer to keep it. I haven't forgotten, I just need to be in the correct headspace, and this isn't it.

We get ours on Tuesday.

No side effects on the first double shot last year so here's hoping.

Supposed to be able to get flu and covid vaccines at the same time here now, but can't seem to find a place to schedule both at once.

It’s not that it’s recommended to separate them, like you, I just can’t find a pharmacy that has both available right now.
