I glad I got my COVID-19 bivalent booster and flu shot 💉

It was two little picks to each arm that you could barely feel. Quick in and out. I don’t think I had to wait fifteen minutes for vaccines. I made my appointment online, checked in with my phone, they were waiting for me when I arrived. The shots were painless, there was no side effects and the next day I went to work and nothing had changed except I’ll have greater protection going into the colder weather and flu season.

It’s just good knowing that I have the additional protection of the latest flu vaccine and COVID-19 bivalent booster. I still wear the muzzle in crowded stores, the bus, hallways and elevators at work. But I know odds are good that I won’t get seriously sick if I get either the flu or COVID-19. I take reasonable precautions as I know no vaccine is 100% effective and it doesn’t sound like fun getting either illness from my vaccinated friends who have gotten it.

It seems like this pseudo vaccination patriotism crap has finally come to end. People are no longer talking about vaccination like it’s a way to save the country, help the elderly and disabled people. I always thought they was such bull shit. No more lines at the pharmacy, no more guilt tripping and shaming the unvaccinated. No more vaccination cards, though they were happy to sign your existing card. Just common sense personal choices to keep oneself healthy.
