Well, it's done

Two weeks ago, I got a text from Walmart recommending I get an MMR vaccination.  Which is probably good, becuase I'm sure that I'm due for a booster since it's been like 40 years. 

But it's also exceptionaly sad and frustraing that adults are needing boosters BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT VACCINATING THEIR CHILDREN.

I am relieved because Taylor had to have another dose before she could start her clinicals and Maddie had to have another before starting at UNLV.  So, my kids are protected.

So, I scheduled an appointment for Saturday.  And since I'm going to be there, I'm getting an updated COVID vaccination, since I was due, as well as pneumonia, and shingles since they were recommended. 

Slowly but surely I'm managing to get things done.  Yay?

Time for lunch.

It's good you're knocking the to do list down, and great the kids are set!

I had my shingles shots- my gram had shingles, and i'll do whatever needed to avoid it. That vaccine wasn't horrible, but I would recommend doing it on a Friday. I felt like I had a bug for forty hours and then was fine.

Funny enough, I got my MMR booster in 2018 — long before the current outbreaks. I never wrote for my childhood records, so had no proof of vaccination. My doc did a titer to see what my immunity looked like. I was fine against measles but not for mumps. Zero immunity to mumps, which it turns out is somewhat prevalent in Hawaii! So booster it was.

Thank you!

I want to say my FIL had it and no thank you! LOL The shot HURT but other than that, it was fine. I know it was the COVID vax that knocked me down because it did the same the first time. But better than the alternative for sure.

Oh nice, that's good to hear. And it makes so much more sense to just get the shot rather than risk it. Or, you would think it'd make sense. Hah.
