In Alaska we are blessed with a relatively low population.
And so, a large number of people here have been vaccinated and more are receiving it daily.
The Moderna version is what was offered to me and so I read up on it.
Millions had received it by then.
It didn’t sound scary.
My 81 year old mother in law lives with us (lucky me).
And so partly for her safety and partly because I fear airlines might begin requiring proof of vaccination before selling me a flight, I decided to get vaccinated.
I received my two shots, with 4 weeks between each.
I am 68.
First one was literally painless (the needle looked tiny, like a hair) and I had zero side affects.
It was as if I was injected with a few drops of distilled water.
Second one was nothing to moan about either.
However, my shoulder was a little sore the next day, just like a normal flu shot.
Day after that, I had to press on the injection site to inspire any soreness at all.
One of my fellow geezer friends told me that he has suspected I’ve already been dead for a long time now and my lack of any real reaction to the shots is proof of his theory.
