Super excited to say that I was able to get my first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccination last week!
Before you start with the blah-blah-how-are-you-qualified nonsense, the State of Arizona qualifies me as an essential government employee given that I work in fire prevention.
So far, no major side effects other than an INCREDIBLY sore arm. I’ve heard the second shot is a doozy, though, so I’m not looking forward to that.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to science and modern medicine, and to encourage you all to get the vaccination as soon as you’re eligible!
Unfortunately I’ll never be able to get my pre-COVID life back, but getting my first dose of the COVID vaccination feels a little bit like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m hoping that a return to normalcy happens sooner rather than later, and I’m excited to experience a non-pandemic version of Flagstaff and northern Arizona.
GET VACCINATED, FOLKS!
