Got my 7-year-old vaccinated today!

We've been WAITING for this!

Lots of kids at the pharmacy.
Parents were all shyly smiling at each other (you can see a *real* smile, even with a mask!).
And there were quiet cheers, and little encouragements every time a kid came out.

The RELIEF!
I, being me, burst into tears. Happy, happy tears!

I think my 6-year-old great-nephew is getting his this week. Was worried about him.

4. My grandkids (11 and 7) next week!

The little guy really freaks out at needles so they’re taking them to their regular pediatrician’s office, who are certainly used to needle-adverse kids crying. Trip to Dairy Queen after.

5. Congratulations!

I can imagine you're so relieved! We all have been waiting for the kids to be eligible! When I took my brother to get his second shot at the end of May, there were several teens there with their Moms and I remember wishing that all the kids could be vaccinated before school started in the fall. Good for you and your vaccinated little one...

I got my kiddo vaxxed last spring…the day after his 16th birthday. I was overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. Good job.

14. I can't imagine how tough this whole thing has been for parents

Hope life gets better and better for you both because of getting vaccinated.
