Most excellent news, Susan and -t!
I can't complain at all about either of my vaccine jabs. A bit of a sore arm, a bit tired, a bit of a rash. All forgotten and replaced by a lightening of stress.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I got a vaccine appointment! Earliest I could find was April 2, so I took that one. And it's a Friday, so if I do have a bad reaction, I'll have the weekend to recover.
So happy to hear that even more peeps are getting the jab! Go herd immunity!
I’m glad your dad’s doing better, -t.
My Pfizer jab is in two hours. I haven’t felt this excited about a needle since my first tattoo.
Great to hear of so many people getting the vaccinations. I read today that Biden had promised 100 million doses in his first 100 days, and you're getting there on day 58. (Our rollout was slower to begin with and looks to be behind schedule, and we've had some imports from Europe blocked; but there's not such a sense of urgency, of course.)
Biyi's parents could be looking to get vaccinated in the next month or two. Biyi and I are probably at least 2-3 months away, quite possibly longer if they don't find their rollout groove.
Not to be ungrateful, but if we stuck to the 1 million/day pace, we wouldn't get everyone vaccinated until well into the fall, so I'm glad the pace is faster than that!
We've already passed the 100 million mark.
msbelle, I am so sorry to read about all of the deaths. It's too much. My condolences.
And in another post: I have a favor to ask. I have an academic international workshop (my first!) on Thursday next week. And I didn't speak English in the past year+ for more than 5-10 minutes on Zoom at a time (generally speaking, I didn't speak much in the past year, between not leaving my home and not seeing anyone, or seeing people over Zoom and not speaking much there as well, because Zoom).
I'd like to dust off my conversational skills in English. If anyone is interested to help me with this over Zoom, my email is in my profile. Thank you.
Oh ffs, I just learned that my essential employee letter from last April qualified me for the vaccine already. I am now pre-registered for one of the mass sites and am trying to change my info with Walgreens.
