One And Done With My COVID Vaccine
After some thought, I decided to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
I want to be able to see my mother, my aunt, and some friends in Pennsylvania. I know that that is one of their requests, that the people they associate with have the vaccine and I know they have all had the shot.
I knew if I had the choice I wanted the Johnson & Johnson one shot. I just wanted to get this over with.
I was trying to sign up for a vaccine event in Augusta when I discovered that there was one happening in Lincolnville and it was the Johnson & Johnson one and done. I signed up for that one.
The whole process takes about 20 minutes or so, five minutes to get checked in, about a minute to get the shot, and then you stick around for about 15 minutes to make sure you do not have a reaction. You get your card as you leave with your information and the information about the vaccine you received.
I can tell you it did sting just a tiny bit, my arm hurts where I was jabbed. I am a little tired and achy today…but then again, it has been a busy week so it could be anything.
