Did you take a picture of his vax card? SheltieLover Sep 2021 #25

Last night both Colbert and Kimmel covered it, tonight it was Trevor Noah and Seth Meyers - and Kimmel had a follow-up - and after it showed up on MSNBC, I figured it was okay for DU...

Or impotence from covid?

These are apparently real issues.

He is fully vaxxed, as is the nice lady who works with him, but he has no interest in politics! I'll have to remind him to get a third shot, now!

It took me long enough and a lot of nagging to drag him to get the first two - since he figured he was okay because he "doesn't go anywhere..."

Unfortunately, the nearby state-run site where he got the first two shut down at the end of July.

They had lighted signs out on the main road, directing people to come. I was bummed out when the signs said they were closing since I was afraid it was because people stopped showing up.

Memphis had a huge site, I think staffed by FEMA. It closed weeks early. Few takers.

When I went to CVS, I just had to check in (I had an appointment), roll up my sleeve, get my shot, wait 15 minutes and I was done. My brother's experience was much more complicated, he spent some time at 3 different tables, they seemed to want more information. But then I convinced him to get his first shot when they started taking walk-ins.

Around here, most pharmacies (Walgreens) offered the Pfizer as well, it was just CVS that offered the Moderna. Though the site at the mall started offering the J&J, but I figured it was because they were closing and wouldn't be open for folks to get a second shot.

He's agoraphobic, doesn't leave the house unless he has to. But I guess he got sick of my nagging and the mall is just down the road - and they started taking walk-ins so he initially didn't have to make an appointment. *sigh*

I've read boosters expected every 6 months going forward.

Maybe there will be a walk-in site where you can be spontaneous with him.

He's also OCD. Though I gave him a perfect plastic envelope to keep it in, like I have, but he inexplicably won't use it.

And it was a little swollen and achy for a couple of days.

Maybe they gave her cousin's friend the vaccinations in his testicles? That would certainly hurt and make them swell up. That's a very strange place to get the vaccine, wouldn't you say?

Must have been a rookie giving the shots.

But I believe I got shot #1 from a nurse and #2 from the pharmacist. But who knows who's giving the shots in Trinidad? He obviously had insufficient training.

for my naughty bits with a syringe in their hands, well....you could probably count me as an anti-vaxxer from that point forward.

Have a great morning, Rhiannon. I'm off to bed for a couple of hours. Have to get my blood work done a 7:00am. Regular Doctor visit coming up Tuesday, and he always likes to check my A1C and lipid panels. Old age is just one long series of indignities.

And I'm sure I annoyed them with questions. I was lucky that the CVS where I went wasn't too busy - I heard that the local CVS - which was fully booked so I couldn't get an appointment - was crowded. It took awhile for vaccines to be available here and CVS was the first to offer it. Previously, the closest places were Potsdam (my friend who teaches drove there!), Plattsburgh and NYC.

Get some good rest - and I understand. I'm sent for blood work whenever I have a checkup. Fortunately, it's in the next building in the same complex. Hoping thar your A1C and panels turn out just fine!
