Week 56.a

A year and a month after I went into self-isolation, I got my second shot early this morning. There were a couple notable changes in the system. Far fewer volunteers were running the site and many folks in FEMA (Federal Emergency blah, blah) uniforms were there, including the guy who gave me my second shot. There were fewer stops along the trail to the shot. But since my appointment wasn't long after opening there was a line waiting when the site opened. Everything moved along very quickly last time, and including the wait for the place to open this time, the total time there was only a hair longer.

A big difference was the average age of the folks getting shots. Last time it was all old folks like me, today I'd say the average age was a good thirty years younger. Though I did notice there were some "gray beards" getting their first shot this morning.

This time I felt the shot being given, and had a slight twinge of pain in that arm very quickly. But it faded. I did start tasting the shot in my mouth within a half hour. I'll post tomorrow if I have any symptoms reappear/show up.
