Pfizerized!!
(Yeah, I know I don't usually make two posts in one day anymore, but I thought this one deserved its own entry.)
Today I got my first covid-19 vaccine!!! I have been eligible for only a week and I have my first of the two Pfizer shots. Whew!
Thanks to the state vaccine portal, I went to Six Flags America to get vaccinated. I thought everything was pretty well organized, although I was amazed at the vast quantity of the orange traffic cones used to snake cars around the parking lots. (So glad I did not have to pay $25 for the privilege of viewing the parking lots. Gaaaah, theme parks are SO expensive these days.) As CNN's Sanjay Gupta observed when getting one of the very first Pfizer shots on live TV, the vaccine is administered through such a fine-gauge needle that it hurts less than the annual flu shot. If I didn't watch out of the corner of my eye, I wouldn't have even noticed the shot!
Twelve hours later, I seem to be having no reaction whatsoever. I'm getting tired, but that's due to the hour, not the vaccine.
I dedicate this vaccine to Master Liam St. Liam, who would have turned 62 tomorrow if not for this plague, and for other friends who have lost family members.
