My goal for today was to make a vaccine appointment, or figure out how to get one in the near future. I spent an hour or two poking around vaccinespotter.org and making lots of phone calls, only to find that one place after another was booked solid.
I unexpectedly struck gold when I called this little pharmacy in Newton, MA. It was a 45-minute drive from home, but they had several openings for this afternoon. I booked an appointment to get the Johnson and Johnson single-shot vaccine, then called Phillip so he could make an appointment too.
As the pharmacist swabbed my arm, she asked if I was ready for my shot. I told her I'd been ready for a year. She chuckled, then jabbed me with the needle. OUCH!!! Glad I only have to do that once! Now Phillip and I both feel like we have a mild case of the flu, but I'm glad we're a step closer to immunity, and that we're doing our part to end this pandemic. Take that, COVID!
