I have been getting the flu shot yearly for years and have managed not
to get the flu.

I had my first Covid19 shot yesterday. The best advice I have heard is
that the risk of complications from the vaccine and nothing compared to
the risk of getting ill with Covid19.


The vaccination program just recently dropped to 70 here, and 65 for the
Astrazeneca, and people in my circle are all getting it. My friend got
his on Saturday. My SiL got it Sunday, my brother yesterday and my wife
will get hers tomorrow.

The process at the injection clinic was very smooth. I was supposed to
wait in my car until 5 minutes before my appointment. I went over about
15 minutes early and asked if I could sit on the bench and read until my
appointment and was told I could go right in. I waited about two minutes
for screening, then a couple minutes wait to register and was then sent
to the line up for shots. The line disappeared as I walked towards it
and they took me right in. I was asked a couple questions to determine
my name and address and about reactions to shots.

I was sitting with my left arm toward the nurse and asked if I could
have it in my right arm because it was already sore and I didn't want
two sore arms. I turned, looked around for a second and she announced
that she was done. I had not felt a thing. I then had to sit for 15
minutes and I was done. It started to hurt in the evening and it hurts
now, but nothing I can't deal with.
